GARLIC BREADCRUMB TOPPING FOR PASTA

Steps:

• Add the butter and oil to a pan over medium heat. When the butter melts, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the panko and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve over pasta.

SPAGHETTI STUFFED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• In a large skillet, on medium-high heat, place the olive oil. Once it is hot add the onions, garlic, italian seasoning, dried basil, salt, black and red pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
• Once the onions and spices have started to soften, add the ground beef and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess grease from the cooked beef.
• Add the crushed tomatoes to the cooked beef and turn the heat to medium-low and simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place a piece of aluminum foil onto a large baking sheet and set aside.
• While the sauce is simmering, remove your garlic bread from the package and allow it to thaw completely. Once thawed, cut your bread in half so that you have 4 equal sized portions. Place the pieces of garlic bread onto the prepared baking sheet garlic/butter side up.
• With a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit (following the shape of the bread) about ¼ inch from the sides of the bread. **Make sure you do not go all the way through the bread. You are wanting to create a border to hold the spaghetti and sauce in the bread boat**
• With the bottom of a large soup spoon, press down the center part of the garlic bread making sure to leave your ¼ inch border you created with your knife cut. *You should have created a garlic bread boat*
• In a large bowl add your, cooked & drained, thin spaghetti noodles with 4 cups of your sauce. Combine them so that all of your spaghetti noodles are coated with sauce.
• Divide your sauce coated noodles into 4 equal amounts and fill your garlic bread boats with the spaghetti. Make sure to keep your spaghetti neatly piled onto the garlic bread.
• Top each of your spaghetti filled garlic boats with a ¼ of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. **If you want your cheese a little more golden, than you can turn on your broiler for 2-3 minutes or until desired doneness**

SPAGHETTI GARLIC BREAD RING

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375°
• 2. Cook the spaghetti per directions on the box. Drain, add a small amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (you don't want it to get too sticky) and let cool slightly.
• 3. Open containers of crescent rolls and lay out on a baking stone in a wreath pattern. (Be sure not to let the thickest part be too thick otherwise it is hard to get cooked all the way.) For a little extra delish, I use the Pillsbury Garlic Butter Crescent Rolls.
• 4. Neatly place spaghetti around the ring of crescent rolls.
• 5. Spoon sauce over spaghetti.
• 6. Top with mozzarella Cheese.
• 7. Close ring by folding the strips over the spaghetti and tucking them under.
• 8. Top with Parmesan cheese and garlic salt.
• 9. Bake in over per directions on crescent rolls - 375° for 11-13 minutes (When time is up, take it out and check the underneath...it may need a few extra minutes to be sure the bottom of the ring is done.)
• 10. Cool slightly and slice to serve.
