1 1/2 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
11 -
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 -
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the tops off the bread rolls and hollow out the center, leaving a 1/2-inch thick border around the edges.

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Brush the garlic butter over the inside and outside of the bread bowls.
03 -
Place the bread bowls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
04 -
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with marinara sauce until well coated.
05 -
Spoon the cooked spaghetti into the bread bowls, packing it in tightly. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
06 -
Return the filled bread bowls to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese.
07 -
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
You can add chopped walnuts or almonds to the garlic bread for a bit of crunch before baking.
02 -
Leftover spaghetti garlic bread bowls can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
03 -
For a stronger flavor, try substituting feta cheese or blue cheese for the Parmesan.
