RIPPED BAGUETTE WITH GARLIC-PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it softens but does not brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool. Then stir this garlic butter into the remaining butter in a small bowl. Stir in the parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rip open the baguette lengthwise, so that it opens like a book but is not ripped entirely in half. Smear the inside of the baguette with the garlic butter. Wrap the baguette in aluminum foil and bake until heated through, 10 to 12 minutes.

BUTTERY LEMON PARSLEY NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. (If using angel hair, stop just short of the al dente stage.) Drain and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil. Add the parsley, garlic and lemon zest and stir. Throw in the drained pasta and cook, tossing and coating it in the mixture, so that a few of the pieces get a little bit of a pan-fried texture to them, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and some salt and pepper and toss again.

On a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals grill bread, cut sides up, covered, 2 minutes, or until parsley butter melts into bread. Turn bread over and grill until just toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Cut bread crosswise into 2 1/2-inch-thick slices.

PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Make a fine puree of all the ingredients in a food processor. Put the butter on a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap and roll into a log, about 1 inches in diameter. Wrap well and freeze up to a year. Use a sharp, hot knife to cut off pieces just before using. The butter can be stuffed under chicken skin before cooking, melted over grilled fish, veal or beef or steamed vegetables or tossed with pasta.
