This easy recipe for braided spaghetti loaf was a big hit in our house. It was very easy to make and could be a fun recipe to prepare with older kids, allowing them to help “braid” the loaf. Since you pre-slice the loaf, it makes serving really easy.
Overall, this was a tasty recipe to make that will stay in our meal rotation.

A cheesy stuffed bread recipe filled with spaghetti and meatballs -- great for the whole family
Ingredients
- PAM® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
- 1 loaf (1 lb each) frozen bread dough, thawed
- 2 cans (14.5 oz each) Chef Boyardee® Spaghetti & Meatballs
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray large baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Roll dough into 14x11-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface. Place dough on baking sheet. Spread Spaghetti & Meatballs lengthwise down center third of dough to within ½ inch of each short edge; top spaghetti with mozzarella cheese.
- Cut sides of dough into 12 equal strips, almost to filling. To enclose filling, take strip from each side, overlap in center and pinch together. Continue with remaining strips. Press each end of loaf together and fold under. Sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until dough is browned and spaghetti is hot. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into strips.

Brigette Streeper says
December 2, 2012 at 4:40 pmI like the idea of pre-slicing the loaf. I LOVE spaghetti, but the husband is getting tired of it. This could be a good twist where we are still both happy.

December 30, 2012 at 10:01 pmThis looks so delicious like it came from a fancy italian restaurant . We are a big fan of Chef-Boyrdee too here at our house. I cant wait to make this for supper this week.
Maddie K. says
February 5, 2013 at 7:24 pmWell, that’s quite interesting. While I would not use Chef-Boy-R-dee, I might be inclined to use the bread part for leftover sauce and spaghetti that I have made.

March 28, 2013 at 6:37 pmSince my grandbabies love canned spaghetti, I’m going to try this. Then I may even do it with my homemade sauce to see which is better.

October 4, 2013 at 5:58 pmThis looks slobberingly good! It reminds me of a recipe I love to make. You get a French loaf, make slices all across, put cheese and meat in the slits, and brush it with butter and broil it! I love your idea. It’s like a giant, delicious Italian empanada!
