Garlic Bread with a Twist--Katie

I was searching for a different way to prepare garlic bread and found this recipe on foodnetwork.com. I made it with the pasta pie for Christmas Eve dinner (2005) and it was yummo!!

Wolfgang's Garlic Bread

10 to 15 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
1/2 cup basil leaves, roughly chopped
1 small sprig rosemary, leaves stripped and roughly chopped
2 medium sage leaves, roughly chopped
Pinch chili flakes
Salt
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 loaf bread
Grated Parmesan, optional
Mozzarella cheese, optional

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

In a blender, combine the garlic, basil, rosemary, sage, chili flakes, and a pinch of salt and puree. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
Slice the bread into 1/2-inch thick slices and place on a cookie sheet. Brush with the garlic pesto. Sprinkle with Parmesan and mozzarella, if desired.
Bake on the upper rack until golden brown and bubbly, about 5 to 7 minutes.
