Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Bread

What if I told you there was an even better way to prepare this classic family meal? WIth this recipe for Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Bread, now you can get both the spaghetti and the garlic bread all in one bite! This carb loaded dish is easy to eat, so little hands and mouths won’t get too messy (we won’t guarantee this is TOTALLY mess free, at least not for MY kids!).

We lightly toast the Garlic Bread first, then load the spaghetti noodles, marinara sauce and meatballs on top. Finally, we toast the Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Bread in the oven until the cheese is all bubbly goodness. Ready to get started? Here is what you will need:

• ITALIAN BREAD – One large loaf. 
• BUTTER – Melted. Salted or unsalted will work. 
• GARLIC POWDER – Using garlic powder makes this dish so easy and quick. But you can mince fresh garlic cloves if you’d like. 
• FROZEN MEATBALLS – Again, a super shortcut using frozen meatballs, but you can certainly make homemade meatballs if you’d like. 
• SPAGHETTI SAUCE – Use any pasta sauce that sounds good!
• SPAGHETTI – Cooked. You can sub for any pasta you have on hand. 
• MOZZARELLA CHEESE – Shredded. We like to shred our own cheese rather than buying the pre-shredded stuff. 
• PARSLEY – Optional for garnish. 

Notes, Tips and Variations

• 2 DISHES, ONE PASTA– You may have leftover spaghetti. If you do, throw it in a tupperware and reheat for lunch tomorrow. Or, simply double the pasta, pasta sauce and meatballs and freeze for an easy dinner when you need it later!
• ADD SOME HEAT- I LOVE putting some red pepper flakes in my spaghetti. I didn’t do it on this recipe because my kids wouldn’t appreciate it. But if you’ve got some fiery taste buds in your family, go for it!
• SUB GROUND BEEF- Not a fan of meatballs? Brown some ground beef in a skillet, drain the grease and then add the pasta sauce and cooked spaghetti.
• WHAT PASTA SAUCE TO USE?- You may have noticed that we just say “pasta sauce”. It seems like there are endless possibilities when it comes to pasta sauce selection at grocery stores. Use any one that sounds good to you!
