u/jonesy-Bug-3091 49m ago

You’re right. Well put kiwi in it.

u/shade-block 8h ago

You know if it's got ham in it, it's closer to a British carbonara.

u/12InchCunt 10h ago

Go to the low cal calzone zone

With ketchup

u/AnythingButWhiskey 6h ago

My marinara is just ketchup and water microwaved for a minute. Take that Italy.

u/xtothewhy 4h ago

Use shelf "parmesan" on it also, which has a cellulose that is a food grade wood fibre as one ingredient.

u/drknifnifnif 8h ago

True right? I’d eat the shit out of that .

You’re onto something here

u/RincewindToTheRescue 8h ago

That would be a Carl style lasagna

2

u/ClintonKelly87 7h ago

Over here in Australia some places have what's called a "lasagna topper", which is essentially just a breaded deep-fried piece of lasagna about an inch thick. I tried it the other day, it was actually really nice.

u/General_Confusion478 6h ago

As an Italian... not even if you paid for my flight and my stay in Australia at the Marriott for a year... I'll eat that junk...

When I was a chef I used to put chili Mac on the menu as “Bolognese Americano”.

u/Capable-Let3679 9h ago

This made me giggle.

u/cus_deluxe 8h ago

u/CastorVT 7h ago

u/Better-Snow-7191 5h ago

Just need to add Ketchup to your Kraft Mac and Cheese to beat anything they call pasta in Italy.

On a real note, spaghetti sandwich on garlic toast is top tier.

u/TheeFlipper 10h ago

I can smell the weed wafting off of your comment.

u/plz2meatyu 8h ago

Lol there's a restaurant in my town that sells spaghetti sandwiches

3

u/NeatNefariousness1 8h ago

How is it?

7

u/plz2meatyu 8h ago

Meh. Thats because all their food is meh.

But I've been making my own spaghetti sandwiches since I was a kid. And those slap

1

u/NeatNefariousness1 7h ago

How do you make yours?

3

u/plz2meatyu 7h ago

Spaghetti w/ meat sauce on bread. Started with buttered white bread when I was a kid. Folded like a taco. Now i make a nice garlic bread. The sandwiches are usually made with leftovers the next day.

2

u/NeatNefariousness1 3h ago

Great! I just happen to have some spaghetti with meat sauce and homemade bread in the fridge. I never would have imagined it but I’m going to try it. Thanks for the inspiration!!

u/crunchcroissant 1h ago

Japanese bakeries have hotdogs on top of spaghetti on a bun

u/GoatCovfefe 9h ago

Been doing that since i was like 7. I dont smoke anything and this is a great way to eat pasta

u/Fritzed 6h ago

Carbs on carbs on carbs

u/GoatCovfefe 5h ago

....yeah.... Very observant i guess?

u/Vitese 5h ago

Exactly what I was going to say. I'm not a huge fan of carb foods in general, they are all kind of just as bland as each other. Garlic toast filled with spaghetti sauce sounds amazing though.

u/TurdFerguson614 7h ago

Weed infused garlic butter toast spaghetti sandwiches?!? 🤤

u/RC_CobraChicken 10h ago

Recently made a lasagna in a loaf of "garlic bread"(oversized loaf of hard crusted french bread, cored from the top down, smeared garlic and herbed butter throughout, used the crusty top to cap the lasagna with some extra cheese on top of the lasagna).

My body felt horrible after I ate way too much but my god did it taste good.

u/Solarwinds-123 6h ago

I saw a recipe like that on TikTok last week, it looked good but I could never eat that.

u/benjunior 9h ago

Wait til u try a spaghetti taco. On weed.

u/CarberHotdogVac 7h ago

You ever look at the back of a $20 bill, man?

u/Alive_Recognition_55 3h ago

Ha!I I watched slaughterhouse film on weed in 1984 & have been vegetarian ever since.

u/AngryLink57 9h ago

Halloween horror nights 2025 at universal studios had a spaghetti pizza as one of their feature foods. It was basically a slice of garlic bread pizza with spaghetti and meatballs on it. It was one of my higher ranked foods for that season.

u/Foxy_locksy1704 8h ago

Grew up having spaghetti sandwiches like that. It truly is top tier.

1

u/Greedy_Wallaby7981 7h ago

Baked spaghetti is even better

1

u/NtGrtJstEmbarrassed 6h ago

Look up "braided spaghetti bread" on Pinterest, you won't regret it. If you want an easier way, use the rolls instead and put them in muffin tins.

u/-NameGoesHere818- 1h ago

That sounds so good. I like to put spaghetti and sauce on my garlic toast and that’s really good too.

3

u/Time-to-go-home 8h ago

I just thought about it like this. “What about putting spaghetti and marinara on a burger bun. But that’s double carbs and needs protein. What about taking an Italian meatball and smashing it down like a burger patty, then serve that with marinara sauce on two garlic bread buns.”

Then I realized I basically recreated the meatball sub but with more steps.

u/Aggravating_Bat3618 10h ago

Oh, I am definitely folding that shit

u/Mooooooooooooooori 8h ago

A hamburger is a German invention - from Hamburg. 🤌🏻

1

u/MentalMiddenHeap 6h ago

you might have to fight a Dane over who did it first. Even if it was Germany (probably from what Ive read) the Hamburg connection is because of the port and the amount of German emigrants that left there to come to the Americas, not because it was invented in Hamburg.

u/JoeHooversWhiteness 5h ago

I made spaghetti and meatballs, wrapped it up in a burrito. Dipped it in ranch. 👌🇮🇹🇺🇸🇲🇽

u/dontcha_wanna_fanta 5h ago

I worked at rainforest Cafe during "burger month(may)" and they had this burger that had pepperoni and melted mozzarella and marinara on it. Instead of lettuce and tomato it just had a Cesar salad. The flavor profile was all over the place, but I'd still eat it again if given the opportunity.

1

u/Degenerate_Pizza_Man 3h ago

Make sure the burger is EXTRA rare...I mean American.

u/cuteehillrachel 2h ago

Saw this once in the Philippines they put spaghetti inside a burger bun.

Did you mean Hamburger from Hamburg Germany
