This is a pretty basic recipe and with all recipes I tend to add my own flare to it. So, the sauce I like to really make a little more hearty. I will usually add more vegetables to mine. For instance, I have been known to chop up some zucchini and squash and throw it in the sauce. This is so yummy! For me, I like to make a chunky, hearty sauce. It’s the way I was raised and the way I will show my children! My husband likes it like that too. Put whatever vegetables in the sauce that you would like. Again, I have to say that this recipe is super fun!

“If you are getting tired of monotony of spaghetti night, this is such a fun way to mix it up!”
It’s always fun o mix up your average dinner and put a little pizzazz in it!
Ingredients
1 container bread dough or pizza dough (I used a container of Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough.)
6 ounces Miller’s spaghetti, cooked
1 cup thick Ragu spaghetti sauce
8 ounces Kraft mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (I used shredded mozzarella.)
Ground turkey (This wasn’t in the original recipe, but I decided to add this for a little protein. You could also use beef or sausage.)
1 egg white, beaten
Kraft Parmesan cheese
Parsley flakes
Instructions
- 1. Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Roll dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
TIP: It can be really hard to transfer a fully assembled bread braid from the counter to a baking sheet. I recommend assembling it on foil so you can easily lift it using the foil and put it right on the baking sheet. Just make sure you spray the foil before rolling out your dough.2. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and let cool slightly. Add sauce.
3. Place spaghetti lengthwise down the center of the dough. If you are adding any meat, put that on next. Top with mozzarella cheese. Make cuts 1 1/2-inches apart on long sides of dough to within 1/2-inch of the filling.
4. Begin the braid by folding the top and bottom strips toward the filling. Then braid strips left over right. Finish by pulling the last strip over and tucking under the braid.5. Lift braid and place on a large baking sheet. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
6. Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly and slice to serve.
