Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls combine two comfort food favorites—garlic bread and spaghetti—into one cheesy, crispy, and satisfying dish. Each hollowed-out bread bowl is toasted with garlic butter, filled with saucy pasta, topped with melty cheese, and baked until bubbly.

Ingredients

  • 4 sub rolls, Italian rolls, or small round bread loaves
  • 3 cups cooked spaghetti
  • 2 cups marinara or meat sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried parsley or Italian seasoning
  • Optional: olive oil for brushing
  • Optional: red pepper flakes or chopped basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the tops off the bread rolls and hollow out the centers, leaving enough bread to maintain the bowl structure.
  3. Mix softened butter with minced garlic and herbs. Spread mixture inside and on the edges of each bread bowl.
  4. Place bread bowls on the baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5–7 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. While toasting, warm the spaghetti with marinara or meat sauce in a saucepan.
  6. Fill each toasted bread bowl with sauced spaghetti and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with red pepper flakes or chopped basil, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap spaghetti for any pasta like penne, fettuccine, or macaroni.
  • Add meatballs, sausage, or ground beef for extra protein.
  • Use Alfredo sauce for a creamy variation.
  • Make mini versions using dinner rolls for appetizers.
  • Toast the bread before filling to prevent sogginess.
