Spaghetti Boats

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

Using a sharp knife, cut a wide and deep “V” along the top of each loaf of bread, making sure to leave the bottom and sides intact.

Carefully remove the “lid” trying to keep it intact. Place the “boats” and the “lids” on the prepared pan.

In a small bowl, mix together garlic butter ingredients.

Using a pastry brush, coat the insides of the boats and the lids liberally with the garlic butter mixture.

Add half of the mozzarella cheese to the insides of the boats and overtop of the lids. Bake for 5-7 minutes or just until the cheese starts to melt and the edges start to brown.

Coat the warmed spaghetti with 1 1/2 cup marinara sauce. Evenly divide pasta between the two boats. Add remaining ½ cup of sauce on top of pasta to prevent drying out when baking.

Add the remaining mozzarella on top and bake 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted, and the bread is toasty.

Remove from oven and cut each loaf into 3 large pieces. Garnish with parmesan cheese, if desired. Served spaghetti boats with cheesy garlic bread lids.
