Bruschetta Spaghetti

March 20, 2019 by Samantha Leave a Comment

Bruschetta fan? I see you! This week I spontaneously made homemade bruschetta for my breakfast, which I have never actually made before, wild I know. It was so delightful and delicious that the next day I decided to take everything a bruschetta has to offer and make it into a spaghetti dish. You probably have already made this before in some format but here’s my recipe

You’ll be taking everything you would usually make with a basic bruschetta, lightly sauté it, combine it will a batch of luscious spaghetti and serve it with some seriously scrumptious grilled garlic bread. Now I say garlic bread but it’s not your traditional garlic bread. You see, I also learnt a little trick on my Google search for a breakfast bruschetta. After grilling your fresh crunchy bread that’s been brushed with extra virgin olive oil and just before added the tomato mixture, you half a fresh garlic clove and rub the cut side all over your grilled bread, amazing right?! That’s a chef secret for ya 😉

I hope you enjoy this lovely homemade bruschetta spaghetti for your dinner very soon, I can’t wait to see yours!
