Description

Enjoy spaghetti stuffed garlic bread subs, a fun twist on classic flavors! Loaded with pasta and cheese, they’re perfect for a hearty meal or snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large hoagie rolls or French bread loaves: These serve as the outer shell for your filled subs. Opt for high-quality, fresh loaves for the best texture and flavor.
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted: This will be mixed with garlic for the garlic butter that coats the bread, adding rich flavor and a golden finish.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced: Fresh garlic elevates the taste profile significantly, giving the bread its signature garlicky aroma.
  • 1 tsp dried parsley: Parsley adds a touch of color and a mild herbaceous flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder: This adds an extra depth of garlic flavor, complementing the fresh minced garlic.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella: The star cheese that creates the gooey, melty filling on top of the subs.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking your delicious subs.
  2. Cook the spaghetti: Boil a pot of salted water and add 8 oz of spaghetti. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  3. Prepare the ground turkey/chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, brown 1/2 lb of ground turkey or chicken until fully cooked, stirring occasionally. Season it with salt and pepper, and drain any excess fat.
  4. Add marinara sauce: Pour in 24 oz of marinara sauce into the skillet with the cooked meat. Stir in 1 tsp of Italian seasoning and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Then, mix the drained spaghetti and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan into the sauce until evenly coated.
  5. Prepare the hoagie rolls: While the filling simmers, carefully hollow out the inside of 2 large hoagie rolls or French bread loaves to create ‘boats’ for your spaghetti filling. Be careful not to cut through the bread entirely.
  6. Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of melted butter with 3 minced cloves of garlic, 1 tsp of dried parsley, and 1/2 tsp of garlic powder. Mix well.
  7. Brush the bread: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture onto the inside and outside of your hollowed-out bread loaves, ensuring they are well coated.
  8. Fill the bread boats: Spoon the cheesy spaghetti filling into each hoagie roll, packing it lightly. Top the filled subs with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.
  9. Bake the subs: Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bread is crispy and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  10. Garnish and serve: Remove the subs from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy the delicious medley of flavors!
