How to Serve Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls

Serve Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls warm right out of the oven. You can place a bowl on each plate or serve them on a large platter for a fun family-style meal. Consider offering extra cheese or crushed red pepper for those who like a bit more flavor!

How to Store Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls

If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven to keep the bread crispy, or you can use the microwave if you’re short on time.

Tips to Make Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls

Be careful not to overcook the spaghetti; it should be slightly firm since it will continue cooking in the oven.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, like mozzarella or cheddar, for a unique flavor.
If you want to add protein, consider including cooked meatballs or grilled chicken.

Variation

You can customize this recipe by changing the type of sauce or vegetables. Try an alfredo sauce instead of marinara, or add different vegetables like spinach or zucchini for a fresh taste!

FAQs

Can I use store-bought garlic bread?
Yes! Store-bought garlic bread makes this recipe quick and easy. Just follow the package instructions for baking.

What if I don’t have garlic bread?
You can use other types of bread or even make your own garlic bread using butter, garlic, and your favorite loaf.

Can I freeze Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls?
It’s best to eat them fresh, but you can freeze the filled bread bowls before baking. Just wrap them well and bake from frozen, adding extra time as needed.
