Ingredients

  • Crusty Round Bread Loaves
  • Spaghetti
  • Marinara Sauce
  • Garlic
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Olive Oil
  • Fresh Herbs
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice off the top 1/2 to 3/4 inch from each bread loaf to create a 'lid' and hollow out the soft interior, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell.
  2. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in minced fresh garlic, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
  3. Brush the inside walls and bottoms of the hollowed-out bread bowls with the prepared garlic butter, including the underside of the bread 'lids'. Place them on a baking sheet.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  5. If using ground beef, brown it in a skillet over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain excess fat, then add marinara sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Add drained spaghetti to the marinara sauce and toss gently to coat. Stir in about half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Spoon the spaghetti and sauce mixture into each garlic-buttered bread bowl, leaving room at the top for cheese.
  8. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the spaghetti in each bowl, adding extra Parmesan if desired.
  9. Bake the filled bread bowls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is toasted.
  10. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with toasted bread lids on the side.
