Ingredients

Scale

1 round sourdough or Italian loaf
8 oz cooked spaghetti
4 cloves minced garlic
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the top off the bread loaf and hollow it out, leaving enough bread on the sides for structure.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
Add cooked spaghetti, salt, pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until combined and heated through.
Remove from heat and stir in chopped basil.
Spoon the spaghetti mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese.
Place on a baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
