Ultimate Spaghetti-Stuffed Garlic Bread

Looking for a fun way to take spaghetti night beyond the usual bowl of pasta? This Ultimate Spaghetti-Stuffed Garlic Bread combines two comfort-food favorites into one seriously delicious meal: saucy spaghetti and warm, cheesy garlic bread!

I was excited to be one of 30 bloggers chosen to create a recipe for the Don Pepino Recipe Challenge, and this recipe was created for the “Beyond the Slice” category—challenging us to use Don Pepino Pizza Sauce for something outside of the traditional pizza night. Challenge accepted!

For this recipe, Don Pepino Pizza Sauce becomes the spaghetti sauce, making the filling incredibly easy to prepare. Simply cook your spaghetti and toss it with the sauce. Don Pepino is fully prepared and ready to use straight from the can, so there’s no need to spend extra time making a separate pasta sauce.

The spaghetti is piled down the center of a thawed and rolled-out loaf of frozen bread dough, then topped with plenty of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Fold the dough around all that cheesy spaghetti goodness, brush the top with a buttery garlic mixture, add another sprinkle of Parmesan, and bake until the bread is beautifully golden brown.

Slice it open and you get layers of warm garlic bread wrapped around saucy spaghetti and melted cheese. It’s hearty, cheesy, a little unexpected, and such a fun twist on a traditional spaghetti dinner.

And somehow, it may be even better the next day! The leftovers reheat beautifully, making this one recipe I definitely didn’t mind finding in the refrigerator the following afternoon.

If you’re ready to take pizza sauce Beyond the Slice, this Ultimate Spaghetti-Stuffed Garlic Bread is one delicious way to do it. Garlic bread + spaghetti + lots of cheese? Yes, please!
