Ingredients

8 slices of bread (Italian or sourdough)

3 cups leftover cooked spaghetti with sauce (preferably marinara or tomato-based)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

4 slices mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh oregano

4 tablespoons garlic butter, softened

Optional garnish: chopped parsley, extra Parmesan for topping

Preparation

01To prep the filling, in a medium bowl, combine the leftover spaghetti with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated with cheese. This helps them stick together and melt nicely inside the sandwich.

02To assemble the sandwiches, lay out the 8 slices of bread. Butter one side of each of the slices.

03On the unbuttered side of the 4 slices, spread a generous portion of the spaghetti mixture (about 3/4 cup per sandwich).

04Sprinkle each with an extra layer of parmesan cheese, oregano, and add a slice of mozzarella.

05Put the remaining buttered bread slices atop the assembled halves, with the buttered side facing out.

06Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.

07Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.
