These bread bowls are best served fresh from the oven. For an extra touch, sprinkle some fresh herbs on top, like basil or parsley. You can enjoy them on their own or with a simple side salad. It’s an excellent combination!
how to store Spaghetti Garlic Bread Bowls
If you have leftovers (which is rare!), let them cool down first. Wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or place them in an airtight container. Store them in the fridge for up to two days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, pop them in the oven to warm up. Trust me; they will still taste fantastic!

- Don’t be shy with the garlic! If you love it, throw in a bit more; it’s all about what makes your taste buds dance.
- Feel free to customize your fillings. Use leftover chicken, meatballs, or any veggies you have on hand. The possibilities are endless!
variation (if any)
For a twist, try using a spinach and artichoke dip instead of spaghetti. Just layer it inside the bread bowls, top with cheese, and bake until bubbly. It’s a fabulous party snack!
