1-Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the 8 ounces of spaghetti according to package instructions, then drain it well.

2-In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown and crumble the 1 pound of Italian sausage until fully cooked; remove it and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet, adding olive oil as needed.

3-Sauté the 1 cup of chopped onion and 4 cloves of minced garlic on medium-low heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning and the 24 ounces of marinara sauce, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.

4-Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and mix until evenly coated. For the garlic spread, combine the 1/2 cup of room temperature butter, 2-3 cloves of minced garlic, and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning in a small bowl until smooth.

5-Hollow out the interior of the 2 (16-ounce) loaves of French bread, leaving about a 1/2-inch border. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly inside the bread halves and toast them in the preheated oven.

6-Spoon the spaghetti mixture evenly onto the toasted bread halves. Top each half with 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and browned.

7-Garnish with the 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley or basil, then slice with a serrated knife to serve. Let’s make this together and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
