Description
Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls are a delicious and fun way to enjoy pasta served in a crispy bread bowl, topped with melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large round bread rolls
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, along with the marinara sauce, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- While the spaghetti is heating, prepare the bread bowls. Cut the tops off the bread rolls and hollow out the insides, leaving about a 1/2-inch thick shell.
- Place the hollowed bread bowls on a baking sheet. Fill each bowl with the spaghetti mixture, packing it in gently.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top of each filled bread bowl.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a meatier option, add cooked ground beef or Italian sausage to the spaghetti mixture.
- To make it vegetarian, include sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach in the spaghetti.
