Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Increase heat to medium-high and add ground beef, breaking it up and cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Mix in tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Add red wine, simmer for 2 minutes. Incorporate tomato passata, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, dried oregano, and basil, letting it simmer for 25 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the tops off of the crusty rolls and hollow out insides, leaving 1/2-inch shell.
  5. Mix melted butter, garlic paste, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Brush this inside and outside of each hollowed bread bowl.
  6. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and toss with the meat sauce.
  7. Spoon the spaghetti mixture into each buttered bread bowl and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Place bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until crispy and cheese is melted. Broil for 1-2 minutes for a bubbly finish.
