Spaghetti Sandwich
The Spaghetti Sandwich is a unique and hearty meal that combines the comfort of spaghetti with the convenience of a sandwich. Nestled between slices of garlic bread, this fun twist delivers savory pasta goodness in every bite, perfect for casual dining.
Equipment
- Large pan or skillet for grilling the sandwiches
- Small bowl for mixing the garlic butter
Ingredients
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices Texas Toast
- 1 1/3 cup spaghetti sauce
- 3 cups spaghetti noodles
Garlic Butter
- 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3 cloves minced garlic
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions.
- Meanwhile, prepare your spaghetti sauce, either using a homemade recipe or a jarred variety with ground beef (our homemade version is linked).
- In a small bowl, combine softened butter with minced garlic, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, stirring until well mixed.
- Heat a large pan over low heat. Spread a portion of the garlic butter on one side of a slice of Texas toast and place it in the pan, buttered side down.
- Lay a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of the bread, then add a small amount of cooked spaghetti, followed by a spoonful of spaghetti sauce.
- Place another slice of mozzarella cheese on top.
- Top the sandwich with another slice of Texas toast, spreading the remaining garlic butter on the outside.
- Cover the pan with a lid and allow the sandwich to cook slowly, ensuring the cheese melts and the bread browns nicely.
- Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Once done, remove the sandwich from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the cheese to fully melt.
- Slice in half if desired before serving
Notes
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a few fresh basil leaves inside the sandwich before grilling.
- This will enhance the richness and give the sandwich an authentic Italian touch.
