Garlic Shrimp & Veggie Pasta Sides

Is a pasta dish ever complete without a side of warm, buttery bread? With garlic and butter already out, why not whip up a toasty cheese bread for your meal? I like to throw together a garlic butter spread with a dash of Italian seasoning mixed in. I pop 3 tablespoons of butter in the microwave and soften slightly, then add in a tablespoon of minced garlic. Add in a few dashes of seasonings, then spread it onto a french bread loaf cut in half. Top the bread with a handful of your favorite shredded cheese and pop it in the oven on broil for 2 minutes. It’s the perfect side for your garlic shrimp & veggie pasta dish!
