Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- If using store-bought pizza dough, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle. If making your own dough, prepare it according to your recipe.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven 2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3: Mix the Filling 3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Roll Out the Dough 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into squares, roughly 4×4 inches.
Step 5: Fill the Rolls 5. Place a generous spoonful of the spaghetti mixture in the center of each square. Fold the corners of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal. Ensure they are securely closed to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
Step 6: Prepare the Garlic Butter 6. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using). Brush the garlic butter mixture over the tops of each roll, ensuring they’re well coated.
Step 7: Bake the Rolls 7. Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
Step 8: Serve 8. Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
