Ingredients
For the Bread Bowls:
Small round bread loaves (sourdough or Italian)
Butter, softened
Garlic powder or minced garlic
Italian seasoning or dried parsley
For the Spaghetti Filling:
Cooked spaghetti noodles
Pasta sauce (marinara, Bolognese, or your favorite)
Olive oil
Minced garlic
Salt & black pepper
For the Cheese Topping:
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh parsley or basil
Instructions
Make Garlic Bread Bowls: Slice off tops of bread loaves and hollow out centers. Mix butter, garlic, and seasoning; brush inside of each loaf. Bake at 375 °F (190 °C) for about 10 minutes until lightly crisp.
Prepare Spaghetti: In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add cooked pasta and sauce, season with salt and pepper, and heat through.
Assemble & Bake: Spoon spaghetti into each garlic bread bowl. Top generously with mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5–10 minutes.
Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley or basil over top and serve hot.
Notes
Use hearty bread like sourdough to hold the filling.
Customize with different cheeses or sauces (Alfredo, pesto, arrabbiata).
Great use for leftover spaghetti!
Pre-baking the bread helps prevent sogginess.
