Instructions
Creating Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Garlic Bread Rolls: Cut the tops off the garlic bread rolls and hollow out the insides. Save the insides for later use if desired. Brush the insides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Bake the Rolls: Place the hollowed rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.
4. Cook the Spaghetti: While the bread is baking, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
5. Prepare the Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the marinara sauce and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss until fully coated in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Fill the Bread Bowls: Remove the baked garlic bread rolls from the oven and spoon the spaghetti mixture into each roll, filling them generously.
8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over each filled bread bowl.
9. Final Bake: Return the filled rolls to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
