Braided Spaghetti Bread
I have seen this recipe on a number of occasions and I decided to give it a whirl. When I made it, I believe my husband and I both said, on different occasions “this is GOOD!” It sounds like an odd concept to put spaghetti into bread, but it is absolutely delicious! Not to mention, it is a fairly easy recipe as well. Sounds complicated, but trust me, I am NOT a pro cook, and I think it was fairly easy. Making the bread a “garlic bread” with the spices, adds so much flavor! The texture of the spaghetti in the bread is so good, and the taste, well, be careful: you may not have any leftovers.
