Learn how to make Italian Butter at home just like they serve at Carrabba’s and you can create a restaurant quality experience at your own dinner table.
Some folks call it Italian Olive Oil Dip for Bread or Garlic Dipping Oil and others call it Italian Butter. Either way, once you learn to make it at home and see how easy it is, you’ll keep the spices at the ready for Italian dinner night anytime.
Don’t serve it too often though so you can keep your family believing you were in the kitchen for hours making them something delicious.
