Sloppy Lasagna Joes

This is from the November 2013 Rachael Ray Magazine. I know two lasagna recipes in a row, I didn't make them back to back, made them different weeks. Both were so delicious I had to share. The recipe used ciabatta rolls, but the market was out so I used a different roll. Watch your rolls in the oven so they don't burn like mine and I had to redo mine.

Garlic Rolls:

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tbsp butter
• 2 lg garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
• 6 ciabatta rolls or sesame semolina rolls, split
• 2-3 tsp grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

1. In a small pan, heat the oliveoil, two turns of the pan, over medium. Melt the butter in the oil. When the butter foams, add the garlic and swirl 1-2 inutes. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley.
2. In a hot ovenn or under the broiler, lightly toast the rolls. Spread with the garlic butter and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake or broil until the cheese melts.
