Spaghetti Loaf 1935 Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line a loaf pan with foil (I like the release foil).
• In a medium sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the flour and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, or until it smells a little nutty.
• With a whisk, gradually mix in the milk. This is when you decided how much milk you think it will need.
• Bring sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, remove from the heat and add the cheese, salt, and pepper.
• Pour about 1/3 tablespoons of the sauce on the bottom of the loaf pan then top evenly with 1/3 of the pasta sauce and then the pasta itself.
• Repeat this two more times, cover the pan with more foil then bake in oven for 20-30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, slice, and serve.
• This is very good next to a italian breaded chicken breast. MMMMmmmm!

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 350* F. Lay out a large sheet of parchment paper (Do it. Don't even bother trying to go sans the paper. I'm 99% sure you'll make a mess when trying to transfer) & roll your loaf out into a 12x16 rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap & let it rest while you get everything else ready (10 min or so).
• Cook your spaghetti (or angel hair) according to directions & drain. Mix in the tomato sauce & vegetarian Italian sausage/hamburger (or use real meat-optional) & let it cool slightly while you continue to prepare.
• Cut your block of mozzarella into chunks.
• Melt the butter in a microwave safe dish & stir in the minced garlic & a few pinches of basil. Uncover the dough & using a pastry brush, brush a little more than 1/2 of the butter mixture onto the dough.
• Now spoon the spaghetti lengthwise in a 4-inch strip down the center of the dough- top with the mozzarella chunks.
• Make cuts 1 1/2 inches apart on the long sides of the dough to within 1/2 inch of the filling.
• Start braiding by folding the strips towards the filling- braid left over right, right over left, etc etc- all the way down.
• Finish the ends by pulling the strips over & tucking under the braid.
• Then brush the remainder of the garlic butter all over the top of the bread. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese, a little more basil & some garlic powder. Add smoked paprika to taste, a pinch or two. Sprinkle parsley over the top.
• Slide the parchment paper to a large baking sheet & bake in your pre heated oven for 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let it rest for about 5 minutes & then slice to serve.
• Enjoy!
