Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your Cheesy Leftover Spaghetti Boats:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Rolls: Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and hollow out some of the bread from the inside to create a boat shape.
3. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the leftover spaghetti, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Fill the Rolls: Spoon the spaghetti mixture evenly into each hollowed roll. Press down gently to pack the filling.
5. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops of the filled rolls with olive oil for extra crispiness.
6. Bake: Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden brown.
7. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
8. Serve: Slice the boats in half and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious creation!
