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

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

- Add spaghetti noodles and cook according to the package, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Add Ragu Homestyle sauce and cubed cream cheese to the pot with the cooked spaghetti and toss to combine and melt cheese.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spoon spaghetti mixture into prepared French bread and top with shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, and 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese.
- Brush melted butter all over the top of the bread and the sides of the cut loaf.
- Sprinkle the top loaf with garlic powder, remaining parsley and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Slice spaghetti filled bread and garlic bread loaf into servings and serve together.
