Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Spaghetti

  1. Cook the Spaghetti Noodles:
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add 8 ounces of spaghetti noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (usually 7-9 minutes).
  • Drain the noodles and set them aside.
  1. Cook the Ground Beef:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 pound of ground beef.

  1. Prepare the Sub Buns:
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  • Slice the sub buns lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.

  • Optional: Add a sprinkle of dried parsley for color and flavor.

Tips and Variations

  • Alternative Fillings:
