Ingredients
- 4 small round bread boules
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Cut a circular lid off the top of each bread boule and remove some of the soft interior to create a hollow bowl. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Toss the cooked spaghetti into the sauce mixture until well coated.
- Spoon the saucy spaghetti into each bread bowl, packing it slightly. Top each with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan.
- Place filled bread bowls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bowl edges are toasted.
- Remove from oven. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
