Preheat the oven to 400F. Cover a large baking sheet (or two small baking sheets) with parchment paper; set aside.
Crumble the ground beef into a medium skillet then cook over medium heat until fully browned.
Drain off the excess fat.
Add 2 cups of the spaghetti sauce to the ground beef and simmer the mixture on low while you complete the next steps of the recipe, stirring often.
Place the sub rolls cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic powder.
Brush the garlic butter onto the cut side of each sub roll.
Bake the sub rolls at 400F for 10 minutes or until they begin to brown on top.
While the sub rolls are baking, boil the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
Drain off the water and return the spaghetti to the pot. Add the remaining spaghetti sauce and stir well.
Top a sub roll with the meat sauce, a heap of spaghetti, and finish with mozzarella cheese.
Repeat with each sub roll.
Bake the spaghetti bread at 400F for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Top the spaghetti bread with fresh parsley for garnish if desired.
