Ingredients
12 oz keto-friendly spaghetti noodles
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lb ground beef (85/15 lean ratio)
3 cups low-sugar marinara sauce
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 large round sourdough or keto bread loaf
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 cloves garlic (minced)
Tbsp butter
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Order a takeout-sized loaf of sourdough bread (or make your own keto bread loaf)
Cut the top half off the bread loaf, scoop out the center to create a hollow bowl
In a skillet, heat olive oil, sauté garlic and ground beef until browned
Stir in Italian seasoning and marinara sauce, simmer 5 minutes
Cook keto noodles according to package instructions, drain
Melt butter with Parmesan, brush inside the hollowed bread bowl
Layer cooked noodles, beef sauce, and mozzarella into the bread bowl
Return to oven and bake 15 minutes until bread is golden and cheese bubbles
Garnish with parsley before serving
Notes
Use fathead keto bread if making your own loaf
Ground turkey is a lean alternative to beef
Check marinara labels for hidden sugars and alcohol
The garlic bread bowl counts toward carb intake
Leftovers should be covered tightly in the fridge
