Ingredients

Scale

8 oz spaghetti
2 large Italian or French bread loaves
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the bread loaves in half lengthwise and hollow out the insides, leaving enough crust to hold the filling.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper.
Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and return to pot.
Pour garlic butter over spaghetti and toss until well coated. Mix in Parmesan cheese.
Fill each hollowed-out bread bowl with the spaghetti mixture and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until the bread is crispy and golden brown. Garnish with additional parsley before serving.
