Description
Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls are a delicious and creative way to enjoy spaghetti served in crispy bread bowls, perfect for a fun meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large loaves of Italian bread
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup marinara sauce (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Cut the tops off the Italian bread loaves and hollow out the insides, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell. Set aside the bread insides for later use.
- 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 (if using), and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, along with the salt, black pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Spoon the spaghetti mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowls, packing it in gently.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top of the filled bread bowls.
- Place the filled bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For a cheesy twist, add shredded mozzarella cheese on top before baking.
- Substitute whole wheat spaghetti for a healthier option or use gluten-free pasta if needed.
