Ingredients Needed


 * Soft & fresh hoagie rolls
 * Leftover spaghetti - see details below about making this healthier
 * Spaghetti/Marinara sauce
 * Garlic Butter mixture
 * Freshly shredded mozzarella
 * Chef's Tip The most important thing here is to make sure that you do not cut out the sides or bottom. You want to keep that outer perimeter intact. That is what will give your boat structure and support when you stuff it!

 * 2) ﻿﻿﻿Using a pastry brush, coat the insides of the exposed bread (boat and top) liberally with the garlic butter mixture.
 * 3) ﻿﻿﻿Next, add some mozzarella cheese and bake for 5-7 minutes or just until the cheese starts to melt and the edges start to crisp up.
 * 4) Seriously at this point, you could totally stop and have some amazing cheesy bread but we have a boat ride to take so let's continue!

 * 1) ﻿﻿﻿To each boat, add some of the warm sauce-coated pasta filling it just to the brim.
 * 2) ﻿﻿﻿To prevent it from drying out when it bakes, add a few more tablespoons of sauce on top and reserve the rest of the warmed sauce for dipping.



Seriously... When the recipe was at this point, it took every ounce of willpower for me to resist inhaling it!

..but I did. You're welcome.

Transfer to your serving plates and garnish with freshly grated parmesan (I personally love Grana Padano) and a side of that reserved warm marinara

LET'S EAT!

This dish is one of my FAVORITE ways to use up leftover pasta. It's a great way to use it up in a new and delicious way. Plus the kids love it as they get to help make it.
