What is Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Sub All About?

You know, Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Subs definitely sound like what they really are- Italian-style subs loaded with saucy spaghetti and baked with buttery garlic topping. The experience includes the enriched flavor of tomato from the pasta and melted cheese running down your chin, then the crunch of garlicky bread. It is the most intelligent mash-up for the workweek dinner, game days, or even for the time that just calls for wanting something other than plain pasta.

Ingredients

For the spaghetti

• 8 oz spaghetti
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the garlic subs

• 4 sub rolls (or hoagie rolls)
• 3 tbsp butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

1. Cook spaghetti in salted, boiling water until they are al dente. Drain the spaghetti and season it with marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
3. Slice sub rolls down the middle, but don’t cut all the way through.
4. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, and parsley. Brush the garlic butter inside each roll.
5. Fill each roll more than full with spaghetti, tucking it in tightly.
6. Sprinkle the subs with lots of mozzarella and a generous handful of Parmesan cheese.
7. Place subs on the baking sheet and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 to 12 minutes.
8. Enjoy while warm … and turning your mouth cheesy and garlicky with goodness!

Storage Tips

• Wrap leftover sandwiches in foil and store in the refrigerator for up to two days.
• Reheat the foil-wrapped sandwiches in the oven at 350°F for just 10 minutes to keep the bread crispy.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve each sandwich with a side salad for a balanced meal.
• Serve those dipping sauces, namely marinara, along with the subs.
• Cut each sub into wee little party-size-y bits to serve as a yummy tidbit for your merry little group of guests.

Pro Tips

• That garlic bread would make the perfect complement to plain subs, especially for added flavor.
• For a protein punch, a little extra cooked meatballs, sausage, or perhaps even chicken, because why the heck not?!
• Quality provolone is an excellent choice. It has a sharp edge to counterbalance spaghetti’s strongly flavored toppings.
