MURRAY'S SPAGHETTI SANDWICHES
This is an awesome way to eat spaghetti, for kids and adults. I've eaten these since I was a kid and still love them! No buttered Italian bread on the side for me thanks, I'll have my spaghetti Murray style! Buttering the bread really gives this recipe it's pizzaz! This recipe is just a simple guide for pasta and sauce but any recipe would work. It's great for leftover spaghetti too. Just warm the spaghetti in the microwave, and make the sandwiches. YUM! Oh, BTW, Murray is Bird's dad who is famous for his budget meals ;)

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your spaghetti sandwich. Start with a good quality spaghetti, a flavorful sauce, and fresh vegetables.
- Cook the spaghetti al dente. This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked spaghetti will be mushy and not hold up well in a sandwich.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes a spaghetti sandwich special. Choose a sauce that you love and that has a good balance of flavors. A classic tomato sauce is always a good choice, but you can also try a pesto sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or a spicy Arrabiata sauce.
- Add your favorite toppings. Once you have your spaghetti and sauce, you can add any toppings you like. Some popular choices include meatballs, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. You can also add cheese, such as mozzarella or Parmesan.
- Grill or toast the bread. This will help to make the bread crispy and flavorful. You can grill the bread in a panini press or on a grill pan, or you can toast it in a toaster.
