A delightful combination of garlic bread and spaghetti, perfect for casual family dinners or busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • Spaghetti (amount for number of servings)
  • Garlic bread loaves or pre-shaped garlic bread bowls (store-bought or homemade)
  • Pasta sauce of your choice (marinara, tomato-basil, or a meatless ragu)
  • Vegetables (sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini, optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Parmesan cheese, optional for finishing
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Garlic, minced (if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven according to the garlic bread package instructions.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until just tender. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with your chosen pasta sauce. Stir in any vegetables you want to use. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  4. Trim the tops off garlic bread loaves or open the bread bowls, then scoop out the soft interior to create space for the pasta.
  5. Spoon or twirl the sauced spaghetti into each hollowed bread bowl, filling to just below the rim.
  6. Place the filled bread bowls on a baking sheet. Bake until the bread edges are crisp and the filling is warmed through, about 8 to 12 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven. If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the hot pasta and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Use gluten-free pasta if needed, and swap in a dairy-free grated cheese to keep this dairy-free. Add a splash of reserved pasta cooking water to loosen thick sauce if desired.
