Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add cooked spaghetti, marinara sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and heat through for 2–3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in shredded mozzarella until melted and evenly distributed.
Hollow out the sourdough bread bowls, leaving about a 1-inch border to hold the filling.
Fill each bread bowl with the cheesy spaghetti mixture and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Place the filled bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the bread is crispy and the cheese is bubbling and golden.
Cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Brush the inside of the bread bowls with garlic butter before filling for extra flavor.

Pre-bake empty bread bowls for 5 minutes for a crispier base.

Add cooked sausage, ground beef, or chicken for a heartier meal.

Use Alfredo sauce instead of marinara for a creamy variation.

Make mini versions with smaller rolls for parties or appetizers.
