Easy French Bread Lasagna Boats

Ingredients

• 2 French bread loaves (small)
• 1 tbsp salted butter (melted)
• 2 tsp granulated garlic
• 4 tbsp spaghetti sauce with meat (or as needed)
• 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• parsley (for garnish)

Steps

2. 2

   Using a sharp knife, carve out a large V shape off the top of each French loaf.

   Brush the inside of the bread shells with the melted salted butter.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the buttered interior with the granulated garlic.

6. 6

   Bake the prepared shells in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

8. 8

   Sprinkle with a portion of the mozzarella cheese, followed by a portion of the Parmesan cheese.

9. 9

   Repeat the layers with the remaining sauce and cheeses until the boats are filled.
