Ingredients

  • 1 loaf French bread or Italian bread
  • 2 cups cooked penne pasta
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup Alfredo or creamy cheese sauce
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice bread lengthwise and scoop out some of the interior to make room for stuffing.
  3. Mix cooked penne with Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. Stuff bread cavity with pasta mixture, pressing down gently.
  5. Combine melted butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Brush generously over bread top.
  6. Bake 20–25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and bread is golden crisp.
  7. Cool slightly, slice, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use marinara sauce instead of Alfredo for a pizza-inspired version.
  • Add cooked chicken, ground beef, or sausage for a heartier bread.
  • Mix in spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra veggies.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like provolone, cheddar, or fontina.
  • Reheat in the oven, not microwave, to keep bread crisp.
