🍝🧀 Spaghetti Grilled Cheese – Leftovers, Reimagined! 🥪✨
Crispy garlic bread hugs cheesy, saucy pasta in this ultimate comfort food sandwich mashup—because carbs on carbs just makes sense.
🧾 Ingredients (for 1 sandwich):
2 slices soft Italian bread
1 tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp garlic powder (optional, but strongly encouraged)
½ cup cooked spaghetti, preferably with sauce
¼–½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or provolone for a little twist)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional but delish)
🔥 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prep the Bread
Mix the butter with garlic powder, then spread it on one side of each slice of bread. These will be the outer sides when grilling—think garlic toast vibes.
2️⃣ Assemble the Sandwich
On the unbuttered side of one slice:
Add half the mozzarella
Top with a small mound of warm or room-temp spaghetti (sauced is best)
Sprinkle with Parmesan (if using)
Add the rest of the mozzarella
Close with the second slice of bread, buttered side out
3️⃣ Grill It
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwich in the pan and cook 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden, crispy, and the cheese is gooey.
✨ Tips for Maximum Deliciousness:
Don’t overload the spaghetti — too much = messy melt escape.
Add meatballs or sausage slices for an upgraded remix.
Swap breads: Try ciabatta or sourdough for a heartier bite.
Make it a mini version with slider buns for party snacks!
🧡 Serve With:
A side of marinara sauce for dipping
Tomato soup for double comfort
A crisp Caesar salad if you want to pretend you’re balancing it out 😅
