This spaghetti grilled cheese takes comfort food to an entirely new level by stuffing angel hair pasta coated in rich bolognese sauce between two garlic-buttered bread slices with melty mozzarella. It’s the perfect solution when you’re craving both Italian cuisine and a gooey grilled cheese sandwich at once.
I created this recipe one evening when my refrigerator contained nothing but leftover spaghetti and some cheese. What started as kitchen desperation has become one of my most requested comfort food recipes among friends who visit.
Ingredients
- Italian bread slices: Choose soft Italian bread with a tender crumb that will crisp beautifully without becoming too hard when grilled
- Butter: Use room temperature butter for easy spreading and the best garlic bread flavor base
- Fresh basil: Adds bright herbaceous notes that cut through the richness of cheese and sauce
- Garlic cloves: Fresh minced garlic infuses the butter with aromatic flavor that defines great Italian garlic bread
- Parmesan cheese: Creates a savory crust on the exterior of the bread while adding nutty depth
- Bolognese sauce: Provides rich meaty flavor and moisture for the pasta filling
- Angel hair pasta: This delicate pasta incorporates perfectly into a sandwich without creating too much bulk
- Fresh mozzarella: Creates that irresistible cheese stretch while offering a mild creamy counterpoint to the savory sauce
