Description
Spaghetti Grilled Cheese is the ultimate comfort food mashup, combining creamy, saucy spaghetti with buttery, golden-brown bread and melty mozzarella. It’s crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and the perfect indulgent, quick meal.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of soft Italian bread
- 2 tablespoons of softened butter
- ½ teaspoon of dried basil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup of cooked angel hair pasta
- ½ cup of Bolognese sauce
- 6 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Mix the softened butter with minced garlic and dried basil in a small bowl.
- Spread the garlic butter onto one side of each bread slice.
- Press the Parmesan cheese gently into the buttered side of each slice.
- Place two slices, buttered side down, on a clean surface.
- Add three slices of mozzarella on each slice.
- Toss the pasta with the Bolognese sauce until it’s evenly coated.
- Layer the pasta mixture over the mozzarella.
- Top the pasta with the remaining slices of mozzarella.
- Place the second slices of bread on top, buttered side up.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add the sandwiches.
- Cover the skillet and cook for about 5–6 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip them, cover again, and cook the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is crisp.
- Let them rest for a minute, then slice and serve.
Notes
- Swap mozzarella for provolone or sharp cheddar for a stronger cheese flavor.
- If Bolognese is unavailable, use marinara or spicy arrabbiata sauce.
- Try sourdough or ciabatta bread for a more rustic feel.
- Add sautéed mushrooms or baby spinach for more texture and nutrients.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat using a skillet or oven.
