i really like garlic bread and kind of hooked up to.i only use dried thyme and don't put the cheese also.i put it in the oven without wrapping until it is well toasted and when i don't have italian bread i simply cut pita bread into wedges and use it instead, it works too

Nice, healthier alternative (glad there wasn't any butter!) but I think it could taste more garlicky --- maybe add garlic powder next time for a stronger garlic taste.

This was a very good garlic bread recipe, but my family felt the thyme and marjoram was too strong. I might decrease the quantity on those two herbs next time around. I liked the addition of paprika, as it gave it a nice kick.

Yum Will! I used a little extra garlic and didn't find it too strong, however I do like garlic a lot. I had served with chicken parmigiana instead of pasta (sorry!).
