Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large slices Italian bread (or 6 smaller slices)
  • 4 tbsp salted butter, at room temperature
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1½ cups leftover spaghetti with meat sauce, warmed through
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the butter and garlic powder until well combined.
  2. Spread the garlic butter evenly on the outside of each slice of bread, ensuring to cover the edges.
  3. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the buttered side of the bread slices and press it gently into the butter.
  4. Assemble each sandwich in the following order: bread slice (butter side out), shredded mozzarella, warmed spaghetti, provolone cheese slices, and another bread slice.
  5. Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or heavy non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. If possible, cover the skillet with a lid or a sheet pan to help melt the cheese faster.
  8. Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is gooey, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and serve immediately.

Notes

Pro Tip:
For an extra cheesy twist, try adding a sprinkle of sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese to your Spaghetti Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. The combination of different cheeses will elevate the flavor and add a delightful depth to each bite. Experiment with your favorite cheeses to find the perfect blend that suits your taste buds!
Variation:
Feeling adventurous? Swap out the traditional Italian bread for slices of crusty French baguette or hearty whole wheat bread. Each bread variation brings its own unique texture and flavor profile to the sandwich, making it a fun way to personalize this recipe to your liking. Don't be afraid to get creative with your bread choice – the possibilities are endless!
