Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large loaf of Italian bread
- 2 cups (475 milliliters) cooked spaghetti
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) marinara sauce
Cheese:
- 1 cup (100 grams) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup (25 grams) parmesan cheese, grated
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), creating an ideal environment for transforming the Italian bread into a delectable spaghetti vessel.
- Artfully slice off the bread’s crown and meticulously excavate its inner core, crafting a robust edible container for the upcoming pasta fusion.
- Harmonize the cooked spaghetti with marinara sauce, introducing mozzarella, parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into a cohesive mixture that promises robust flavor profiles.
- Gently transport the spaghetti medley into the bread’s hollowed sanctuary, ensuring an even distribution that promises a delightful bite in every slice.
- Infuse minced garlic with olive oil, tenderly brushing this aromatic elixir across the bread’s exterior to elevate its sensory appeal and create a golden, crisp shell.
- Encase the stuffed bread in aluminum foil, nestling it into the preheated oven for 20 minutes to initiate the melting process and develop deep, interconnected flavors.
- Unveil the foil for the final 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to transform into a molten blanket and the bread’s exterior to achieve a tantalizing crispness.
- Allow the bread to rest momentarily after baking, enabling flavors to meld and facilitating cleaner, more precise slicing for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Prep work becomes a breeze when you hollow out the bread shell, creating a delicious edible vessel for your saucy spaghetti creation.
- Melted cheese, garlic-infused crust, and perfectly seasoned pasta combine to deliver a comfort food experience.
