Ryan Laing's "Classico Italiano"



This week's sandwich creation comes from Los Angeles resident and dear friend Ryan Laing. Perhaps you're familiar with his work. If not, you're missing out big time.



CLASSICO ITALIANO

A gourmet sandwich I was inspired to make after spending a semester abroad in Italy. The apartment I was living in was above a two michelin star restaurant, and after they closed each night the head chef would cook for me if I helped clean up his kitchen. On my last night before coming back to the states, the chef generously offered to make his signature dish, Classico Italiano. The recipe, which had been passed through his family from generation to generation was shared with me under the sole condition I swear an oath never to tell.

1) French Bread.
2) Butter + chopped garlic + 'Italian spices.' Mix them.
3) Slather generously on two thick slices of bread.
4) Toast that in the oven at 550 degrees for ~25 minutes.
5) Meanwhile, cook spaghetti.
6) Cook some meat sauce.
7) Combine these two things in a bowl and stir them together rapidly.
8) Put the meaty sauced spaghetti in between the bread.
9) Slice the sandwich in half via knife.
10) ?????
11) Profit

Non traditional variants and experimentation may be conducted with melted mozzarella cheese and Italian sausage.

Prep time is 30 minutes.

For the most authentic meal, pair with a chilled 10oz glass of Chocolate Ovaltine.

Viva Italiano!


That's all for now. See you all next week for more tasty talk!
