Grilled Spaghetti and Cheese Sandwich
This sandwich is a hot mess…….a tasty, melty, ooey, gooey, hot mess! A Grilled Sapghetti and Cheese Sandwich hot mess!!
What in the world do you do with left over spaghetti?????
For Tim and I, a whole pot of spaghetti ….well, it could last a life time! Not anymore, we will be eating this sandwich instead!
This is more of a method, as opposed to a recipe. I didn’t measure the amounts, as it is one of those you decide how much recipes.
Heres what I did:
I reheated the spaghetti. It would be too hard to heat the spaghetti all the way though without burning the bread.
I used ciabatta bread……use what ever bread you like. I cut the slices in half.
I piled the warm spaghetti on the bottom half. Use as much or little as you like.
Top the spaghetti with fresh mozzarella cheese. Again as much or little as you like. Top cheese with a generous sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
Put the top on your sandwich and spread with butter. Sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese and press down to adhere to the butter.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium low heat and flip the sandwich, butter side down onto the skillet. Don’t worry if some of the parmesan comes off, just lay the sandwich on it…..it will melt.While the one side is cooking, butter the other side and sprinkle parmesan, pressing slightly to make it adhere.
Flip over, cooking each side until golden brown. Watch carefully, as it only takes a second to go from perfect, to slightly more than golden …..a.k.a. burnt!
Remove from skillet, sprinkle with extra parmesan and parsley if you wish.
Serve with extra napkins!
Grilled Spaghetti and Cheese Sandwich is the perfect way to use leftover spaghetti…….or a reason to make a big pot full!!!
