  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning if using. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or hand mixer until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
