Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 sub rolls
- 8 ounces (226 grams) spaghetti, cooked
- 1 cup (226 grams) mozzarella cheese, shredded
Sauce and Cheese:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) Parmesan cheese, grated
Finishing Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) garlic butter
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) to prepare for baking the stuffed subs.
- Combine cooked spaghetti with marinara sauce and mozzarella, creating a rich and flavorful filling mixture.
- Carefully slice the sub rolls lengthwise, creating a deep pocket for the spaghetti mixture.
- Generously brush the interior of each roll with fragrant garlic butter, ensuring complete coverage.
- Spoon the spaghetti and sauce blend into each sub roll, distributing the filling evenly.
- Sprinkle a layer of grated Parmesan cheese over the stuffed rolls for added depth of flavor.
- Individually wrap each sub in aluminum foil to help seal in moisture and heat.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the bread to become crisp.
- Remove from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil to prevent steam burns.
- Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves just before serving to add a bright, aromatic finish.
Notes
- Customize bread thickness by choosing soft, sturdy sub rolls that can hold the spaghetti filling without getting soggy.
- Drain spaghetti thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from making the bread soggy and compromising the sandwich’s structural integrity.
- Create a flavor boost by adding red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning to the spaghetti mixture for extra zest and personalization.
- Make this dish gluten-free by using gluten-free sub rolls and ensuring marinara sauce is certified gluten-free for those with dietary restrictions.
