Spaghetti-stuffed garlic bread is a delicious and indulgent dish that combines two classic favorites into one satisfying meal. Here’s a simple recipe to make spaghetti-stuffed garlic bread at home:
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of Italian bread or baguette
- 2 cups cooked spaghetti
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the Italian bread or baguette in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces. Hollow out each half slightly to create a trough for the spaghetti stuffing. Place the hollowed-out bread halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with marinara sauce, minced garlic, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until the spaghetti is well coated.
- Spoon the spaghetti mixture evenly into the hollowed-out bread halves, pressing gently to compact the filling.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the spaghetti-filled bread.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and chopped parsley. Drizzle the butter mixture over the stuffed garlic bread.
- Cover the baking sheet loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into individual portions.
- Serve the spaghetti-stuffed garlic bread warm, and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
