The Ultimate Spaghetti & Steak Sub Sandwich: A Ragú® #NewTraDish Sensation

Embark on a culinary adventure with this incredible Spaghetti & Steak Sub Sandwich, a truly unique Ragú® #NewTraDish creation that promises to delight the entire family. Born from a desire to blend beloved comfort foods into something extraordinary, this recipe takes two classic dishes and marries them into one undeniably delicious meal. While this post is part of a sponsored collaboration with Socialstars for Ragú®, every bite of this innovative sandwich genuinely showcases the authentic Italian taste that Ragú® brings to the table, making it a standout addition to your dinner rotation or next gathering.

This past week, the kitchen transformed into a creative space where we experimented with a delightful Ragú®-inspired meal. The result? A mouthwatering sub sandwich that is perfect for any occasion, especially for those lively football parties or casual family dinners. As I envisioned the upcoming weekend festivities, it was clear that a dish combining hearty breads and satisfying pasta would be a surefire hit. This Spaghetti & Steak Sub Sandwich checks all those boxes and more, offering a fulfilling and incredibly flavorful experience that appeals to almost everyone.

To elevate this dish, we opted for tender chopped beef steak instead of traditional ground beef or thinly sliced steak strips. This choice makes a world of difference, infusing each bite with a rich, robust flavor and a fantastic texture that complements the spaghetti and sauce beautifully. The ease of preparing chopped steak also adds to the appeal, proving that gourmet flavors can be achieved without complicated steps.

Ragú® has long been a staple in American kitchens, cherished for its authentic Italian taste and its ability to transform simple ingredients into extraordinary meals. With a diverse range of sauces, Ragú® provides countless quick and easy recipe solutions, making it a hero for busy weeknights. Whether you’re craving a classic spaghetti dinner or venturing into creative culinary mash-ups like this sub sandwich, Ragú® delivers consistent quality and flavor that families love.

This recipe is a delightful twist on two Ragú® classics: the hearty Italian Cheese Steak Sandwiches and the ever-popular Spaghetti & Meatballs. Instead of using traditional steak strips, we opted for flavorful chopped beef steak, simmered to perfection in rich Ragú® sauce. This succulent steak is then generously piled onto a toasted sub sandwich roll, layered with perfectly cooked spaghetti, and crowned with a generous blanket of gooey, melted Mozzarella cheese. The combination is a symphony of textures and tastes, offering the comforting familiarity of spaghetti and meatballs with the satisfying heartiness of a steak sandwich.

The beauty of this recipe lies not only in its innovative flavor but also in its versatility. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the traditional version, while I savored a delicious gluten-free adaptation, opting for gluten-free pasta and no bread. The result was equally flavorful and satisfying, proving that this dish can easily be modified to fit various dietary needs without compromising on taste. The chopped steak remains a star ingredient, providing robust flavor and a tender bite that enhances any variation.

Beyond its incredible taste, this Spaghetti & Steak Sub Sandwich offers practical benefits for any home cook. It’s an ideal dish for entertaining, making a grand impression at parties and gatherings. Yet, it’s also remarkably quick to prepare, coming together in under 30 minutes, which makes it an excellent choice for those hectic weeknights when time is of the essence. For families with children, the subs can be easily cut into smaller, manageable portions, ensuring that even the pickiest eaters can enjoy this fun and flavorful meal. This dish truly embodies convenience, versatility, and deliciousness, all in one package.

Ingredients

  

• 1 Lb Chopped Beef Steak
• 2 24 oz Jars of Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce or Flavor of Your Choice
• 12 oz Spaghetti Pasta
• 1 Package of 6 Sub Sandwich Rolls
• 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions

• Begin by lightly spraying a medium-sized skillet with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• Place the chopped beef steak into the prepared skillet and cook over medium-high heat until it is thoroughly browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
• Once browned, carefully drain any excess grease from the skillet. Return the cooked beef to the skillet, then stir in one full jar of your chosen Ragú® sauce. Allow this mixture to simmer gently for 5-10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together beautifully.
• While the beef and sauce are simmering, prepare the spaghetti pasta according to the package instructions. Cook until al dente, then drain the pasta thoroughly and return it to the stock pot.
• Add the additional jar of Ragú® pasta sauce to the cooked spaghetti in the stock pot, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly.
• Warm the sub sandwich rolls to your desired preference. This can be done in the oven, toaster oven, or even a quick toast in a pan to create a slightly crispy exterior.
• Generously fill each warmed sub roll with the simmered beef and Ragú® sauce mixture, followed by a hearty portion of the sauced spaghetti.
• Finally, garnish each sub sandwich with a generous sprinkle of shredded Mozzarella cheese. For an extra gooey finish, you can briefly place the assembled subs back into the warm oven or under a broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
