Ingredients: 

• 1/2 23 oz jar RAGÚ® Homestyle pasta sauce {I used Homestyle Thick and Hearty Mushroom Sauce}
• 1/2 box {8oz} spaghetti pasta
• 1 cup Mozzerella cheese, shredded
• 4 oz cream cheese, cubed
• 1 loaf of French bread
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Directions: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
3. Add spaghetti noodles and cook according to the package, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
4. Add Ragu Homestyle sauce and cubed cream cheese to the pot with the cooked spaghetti and toss to combine and melt cheese. 
5. Slice about 2 inches deep through the top of the bread, and continue to cut a large rectangle, being careful not to cut through the bottom of the bread. 
6. Remove top of bread and hollow out middle to create a rectangular bread bowl. Place both the cut loaf and the top piece, side by side, on a baking sheet.
7. Spoon spaghetti mixture into prepared French bread and top with shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, and 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese. 
8. Brush melted butter all over the top of the bread and the sides of the cut loaf.
9. Sprinkle the top loaf with garlic powder, remaining parsley and Parmesan cheese. 
10. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly golden.
