•INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
Prepare the Bread: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on the cut sides of the French bread loaf.
Bake the Bread: Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until they are slightly toasted.

Assemble the Subs: Distribute the marinara-coated spaghetti evenly over each bread half.
