How to Serve Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls
Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls are best served warm. You can drizzle a little olive oil on top for added flavor and finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. They make for a hearty meal on their own but can also be paired with a fresh salad or some garlic knots for an extra touch.
How to Store Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls
If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can place the bowls back in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through. However, the garlic bread may lose some of its crispiness.
Tips to Make Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls
- Choose a pasta sauce that you truly love, as it will greatly affect the flavor.
- Don’t overfill the bread bowls; leave some space at the top to avoid spills while baking.
- Feel free to experiment with different veggies or add proteins like cooked chicken or sausage for extra heartiness.
Variation
You can easily make this dish vegetarian or add proteins, such as grilled chicken or shrimp. For a spicy kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to the sauce. If you want a lighter version, swap out regular spaghetti for whole grain or zucchini noodles.
