A Note from Feedfeed

The combination of garlic, parsley, and a herby pesto adds a unique touch to regular garlic bread. The pesto, traditionally made with fresh basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, and olive oil, introduces a burst of flavors that perfectly complements the gooey melted mozzarella. Great for game day snacking or serving alongside Sunday suppers.
