Method

Prep the Bread Bowls

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Use a sharp paring knife to trace a cavity in each bread loaf, leaving about a half-inch border. Scoop out the inside, saving the bread crumbs for later.

Make the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, 4 minced garlic cloves, Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth.

Toast the Bowls

Brush the garlic butter inside and on the rim of each bread bowl. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden.

Cook the Pasta

While bowls toast, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.

Make the Alfredo Sauce

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.

Add the Cheese

Remove from heat, add 1 cup grated Parmesan, and whisk until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.

Combine the Filling

Fold pasta and 2 cups cooked chicken into the sauce.

Fill and Bake

Spoon filling into bread bowls, top with mozzarella. Bake for 5-8 minutes until cheese melts. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Use fresh Parmesan for smooth sauce. Toast bread twice to prevent sogginess. Store filling separately; reheat with cream. Can use rotisserie chicken for shortcuts.
