Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the tops off the bread rolls and hollow out the center, leaving a 1/2-inch thick border around the edges.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Brush the garlic butter over the inside and outside of the bread bowls.
Place the bread bowls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with marinara sauce until well coated.
Spoon the cooked spaghetti into the bread bowls, packing it in tightly. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Return the filled bread bowls to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

You can add chopped walnuts or almonds to the garlic bread for a bit of crunch before baking.
Leftover spaghetti garlic bread bowls can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
For a stronger flavor, try substituting feta cheese or blue cheese for the Parmesan.
