Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (15.5 ounces) fire-roasted tomatoes including their liquid
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 pound spaghetti cooked and drained
  • 1 loaf crusty artisinal bread
  • 6 tablespoons butter softened
  • tablespoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • basil leaves for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Cook the sausage and onions in a large skillet over medium/high heat, breaking up the sausage as it cooks.
  • Stir in the garlic, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, tomatoes and tomato sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and stir the cooked and drained spaghetti into the skillet and toss with the sauce to coat.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the top off the crusty bread. Use your fingers, hollow out the top and bottom of the bread to form a bowl, making sure to leave enough of the outer crust to keep the bread sturdy. (Reserve the bread insides for another use. They may be frozen if needed)
  • Slather the softened butter on the inside of both the top and bottom of the bread bowl, and sprinkle both sides with the garlic powder and the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Use tongs to pile the spaghetti high inside the bread bowl. Place the top of the bread on the pile of spaghetti and press gently.
  • Wrap the spaghetti sandwich in aluminum foil and either refrigerate until ready to bake, or bake immediately in a preheated 425 degree oven for 40 minutes.
  • *Note - if baking after refrigeration, allow the spaghetti sandwich to come to room temperature (approximately 30 minutes) before baking, and bake for 40 minutes in a preheated 425 degree oven.
  • Unwrap the sandwich and slice using a serrated knife.
