Have you ever had a spaghetti sandwich? If not, would you eat one?
Spaghetti sandwiches were never a common item when I was growing up. We’d just heat up the leftover spaghetti and eat it from a bowl. But the occasional spaghetti sandwich wasn’t unheard of. My dad ate them more often than I did. Basically: Reheat some spaghetti and sauce. Spread margarine (because that’s what dad bought) on soft white (Wonder) bread (because that’s what dad bought). Put some reheated spaghetti and sauce in the bread and make a sandwich. Eat.
I have never had a “spaghetti sandwich” I often take leftover spaghetti sauce, reheat, toast some garlic bread and make some spaghetti sauce (sloppy job) open faced sandwiches. Topped with romano cheese.
Everything tastes better as a sandwich - spaghetti, fries… well that’s about it but yes I have been known to have a spaghetti sandwich or two in my time.
My mother would cook up a couple of pounds of spaghetti, add a sauce made with a couple of pounds of ground beef, and serve it all mixed up out of a huge kettle. There were ALWAYS leftovers. Next morning, I would pull it out of the fridge, cut a slab, and slap it between two slices of buttered bread.
That’s what I would bring to school for lunch. No heating available.
Theoretically you would have a piece of bread with your hot spaghetti. A piece of bread and cold spaghetti is the same thing, so why does it sound so ewww? My mother used to say, it all goes down in the same place (stomach), and I used to say back, and it all comes out in the same place, too. I don’t think I could eat cold spaghetti with sauce, though I don’t have a problem with cold mac and cheese.
Well, the way I did it, the grease in the spaghetti sauce could be a little on the indigestible side. I loved the stuff, but I can’t deny that I got heartburn now and then.
Spaghetti omelettes are a common West African street food dish. Just beat some eggs, add a bit of onions, peppers and tomatos (beans are optional), flavor with salt and bullion cube, add spaghetti and fry in plenty of oil. Serve with hot sauce, mayo and slices of baguette.
The Spaghetti omelet can also be served on a baguette as a sandwhich.
It’s actually really, really good. It’s hard to convince anyone to try it, but once they do, they agree that it’s worth it.
I’ve seen people do this (usually with really poorly made, overboiled-noodled, gunky messes passing itself as spaghetti) and have done it once or twice but i don’t recommend it.
just eat your leftover spaghetti like a normal human being and take whatever meatsauce/marinara you have left to make a meatball sub or a jerry-rigged bruscetta. MUCH better use of your foodstuffs.
Heard of it. Never had it. Never saw the point. Also seems pretty sloppy to eat.
Leftover spaghetti either gets eaten cold or fried with eggs and whatever ingredients I have on hand and feel like throwing in, into a frittata/omelet/scramble/whateveryawannacallit, as other posters have mentioned.
We didn’t set out to make spaghetti sammiches, but we had the Wonder bread and the margarine spread on it, sometimes with some garlic powder…tada, garlic bread! Which goes great with spaghetti, as everyone knows.
It’s just one small step to putting some of the sketti onto the bread and then just folding it up.
And right now, that sounds AWESOME.
Warm, anyway.
Cold spaghetti is only awesomer than anything when you pour some italian dressing on it.
