Instructions
Creating Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls is straightforward and enjoyable. Just follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Spaghetti: Boil a pot of salted water. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare the Garlic Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
4. Mix the Sauce: Add the marinara sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine. Allow it to heat through for about 5 minutes.
5. Combine Spaghetti and Sauce: Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce, mixing well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Prepare Bread Bowls: Cut the tops off the bread rolls and scoop out the insides, leaving a generous wall of bread. Lightly brush the insides of the rolls with olive oil.
7. Assemble Bowls: Fill each bread bowl with the spaghetti mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.
8. Add Cheese: Top each filled bread bowl with shredded mozzarella and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
9. Bake: Place the filled bowls on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve immediately.
