Baking Tips

Choose bread loaves that are sturdy enough to hold the pasta without breaking

Don't hollow out too much bread - you need structure for the bowl

Brush garlic butter generously for maximum flavor

Pre-bake the bread bowls to ensure they're crispy and won't get soggy

Cook pasta slightly under al dente as it will continue cooking with the hot sauce

Save pasta water - it helps bind the sauce and pasta together

Don't overfill the bowls - leave room for the cheese topping

Serve immediately while the bread is still crispy

Provide spoons and forks for easier eating

6 tablespoons butter, softened

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Spaghetti:

12 oz spaghetti pasta

1 tablespoon salt (for pasta water)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 pound ground Italian sausage (optional)

3 cups marinara sauce

1/2 cup red wine (optional)

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembly and Garnish:

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Cracked black pepper

Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the top 1 inch off each bread loaf and set aside. Carefully hollow out the inside of each loaf, leaving about 1/2 inch of bread on the sides and bottom to form bowls.

In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to create garlic butter.

Brush the inside and rim of each bread bowl generously with the garlic butter mixture. Brush the cut tops with remaining garlic butter.

Place bread bowls and tops on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute more.

If using sausage, add it to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes.

Add marinara sauce, red wine (if using), Italian seasoning, basil, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

Add cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss to combine. Add reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Place each garlic bread bowl on a serving plate. Fill generously with the spaghetti mixture, allowing some pasta to overflow naturally.

Top each bowl with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Return to oven for 3-5 minutes until cheese melts.

Garnish with fresh basil, parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately with the garlic bread tops on the side.
