Ingredients

Scale

Pasta and Sauce

  • 8 ounces spaghetti pasta
  • 2 cups marinara or homemade tomato sauce
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional)

Garlic Bread Bowls

  • 4 round bread rolls (day-old preferred)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Extra fresh herbs for garnish (basil or parsley)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spaghetti: Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt butter and gently cook minced garlic until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Create Garlic Bread Bowls: Slice tops off bread rolls and hollow out the insides, leaving about a half-inch wall. Brush interiors and tops generously with garlic butter.
  4. Heat the Tomato Sauce: Warm marinara or tomato sauce in a pan, stirring in fresh herbs if desired.
  5. Combine Spaghetti with Sauce: Toss cooked spaghetti in the heated sauce until well coated.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Fill each garlic bread bowl with saucy spaghetti. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, replace tops, and broil briefly to crisp edges.

Notes

  • Choose fresh day-old rolls for bread bowls to prevent sogginess.
  • Don’t overfill the bread bowls to avoid spills and maintain structure.
  • Butter the bread generously to achieve a crisp, flavorful crust.
  • Cook pasta al dente for the best texture.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving for enhanced aroma.
