Fettucine Grilled Cheese

April 27, 2015 By Aubrie Cornelius

So, remember that insane pasta recipe from last week?Fettucine Grilled CheeseWell, I decided to take it to the next level and re-purposed the leftovers into this crazy delicious grilled cheese sandwich. Because, let’s be honest, weeknight meals are all about taking what you have on hand and making something incredible!

Fettucine Grilled Cheese

Before I get into all of the amazing details of this grilled cheese, I figured I should give you guys a quick update. While the files from my hard drive have yet to be recovered, I did get to spend the weekend with my in-laws and it was SO much fun! We shopped, did some sight-seeing and basically had the best time, ever! It definitely helped to offset the terrible luck we have been having, lately. And I can already tell, this week is going to be good.Fettucine Grilled Cheese

Alright, back to this sandwich. If you remember from Friday’s post, the pasta takes about 20 minutes to throw together (and it’s all in one-pot) but you can really use any extra pasta you have on hand to make this!Fettucine Grilled Cheese

Sure, it may be a bit of a carb overload, but it’s Monday so that means we’ve all earned a little indulgence! To make this, simply split a loaf of ciabatta in half (I suck at cutting, so I had the baker at Whole Foods do it for me! Thanks, man) then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, top with the leftover pasta of your choice then sprinkle a generous helping of cheese and place under the broiler until golden brown and bubbly.
