1/2 lb ground Italian sausage (cooked)

2 tbs Italian seasoning
2 tbs dried parsely
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red chilli flakes (optional)
1/2 lb cooked pasta
For bowls:
1 8oz cream cheese (any savory flavor)
2 cups mozerella cheese
1 un sliced round bakery bread
examples ( sourdough, hearty tuscan bulk,
French bread etc) be sure that it is big enough to be hallowed out and filled with pasta.
Directions:
Cook and drain pasta according to the package. Set aside.
Add sauce, and diced tomatoes to a medium to large pot. Add seasonings, sugar, and olive oil. Cook ground beef and sausage, strain the oil and add to the sauce. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Next cut and remove the center of the bread. Hallow out enough to make room for pasta to fit. Drizzle the bread with a little olive oil and sprinkle with some Italian seasoning , garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt.
Toast the bread for 3-5 minutes on 375.
Next spread cream cheese inside the bread, then sprinkle mozerella cheese over the cream cheese.
Then add your Spaghetti to the bread.
Top with more cream cheese, and mozerella cheese. Put it in the oven and allow the cheese to melt. Once the cheese has melted remove the bread bowl from the oven and top with parmesean cheese.
Enjoy!
