Spaghetti Grilled Cheese Bolognese (Printable Format)

Crispy bread, gooey mozzarella, and saucy spaghetti unite for a comforting, unique sandwich experience.

# Needed Ingredients:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices soft Italian bread

→ Spread Mixture

02 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
03 - 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
04 - 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

→ Cheese

05 - 1 tablespoon finely grated Parmesan cheese
06 - 6 slices fresh mozzarella cheese

→ Pasta

07 - 1 cup angel hair pasta, uncooked
08 - 1/2 cup bolognese sauce

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a small bowl, blend together the softened butter, minced garlic, and dried basil until evenly combined.
02 - Spread the prepared garlic basil butter mixture on one side of each slice of Italian bread. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese onto the buttered side of each slice and gently press it into the butter.
03 - Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add angel hair pasta and cook, uncovered, until al dente according to package instructions, about 3-4 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
04 - Transfer drained pasta to a bowl and toss with bolognese sauce until evenly coated.
05 - Place one slice of garlic buttered bread on a work surface, buttered side facing down. Place 3 slices mozzarella cheese evenly on the bread. Evenly distribute the sauced pasta over the cheese. Top the pasta layer with the remaining 3 slices of mozzarella. Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up.
06 - Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully set the assembled sandwich in the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook without moving until the underside is golden brown, approximately 5-6 minutes. Flip the sandwich gently, cover again, and toast the second side until golden. Remove from heat.
07 - Slice the grilled sandwich and serve immediately while hot.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Use day-old bread for best texture and even toasting.
02 - Allow cooked pasta to drain thoroughly to prevent sogginess in the sandwich.
03 - Grilling low and slow ensures the cheese melts fully while the bread reaches perfect golden crispness.
