Notes
You can use any type of bread you prefer, such as ciabatta or Italian bread. For a healthier twist, consider whole wheat pasta or gluten-free spaghetti. Add cooked meatballs, sautéed vegetables, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through for the best texture.
