Hot meal... Brown noodles put into boiling water and let simmer on medium (cover off) until al dente, a little salt in the water to bring down the boiling to a simmer. Always Always a red sauce, made from crushed tomatoes and tomato paste with your taste of herbs, normally sticking with the basil and oregano. If choosing to use garlic I mince that up and throw in unsauteed with plenty of parsley.
This is already a strong flavor and tossing in any thing light would seem off. But a salad on the side is awesome, I normally use a blend of lettuce from a mixed greens to a romaine. Ghlight it with anything you want and keep the dressing simple oil and vinegar.
Cant go wrong with a grated parm. Cheese on either the salad or pasta. Never tried it on a sandwich but who's judging.
Cold meal I had tonight, not quite spaghetti but it could work... Grill beef stew meat kabob style with an Italian dressing mixture, oil vinegar and herbs. Cook spaghetti (I used a tri-color rotini)and cool, light on the oil or just make a small amount. Get a bed of lettuce, same mixed greens.. get your parm.. and start to pile on.
Lettuce then noodles then meat then top with added veggies. Tonight we had it with radishes cut into thin slices and I then added the shredded cheese and also through in some lemon balm (like mint) for extra flavor. A little Italian dressing.
And it was a really good meal. Still not sure about the sandwich idea.

I prefer to serve pasta with whole-grain rotini (little corkscrew). For sauce, I make a pink sauce, which is half tomato sauce, half Alfredo sauce (hey I know many Italians who swear by it too! ).
Then, I serve it up with a Pepperidge Farm loaf of garlic bread. I prefer to actually load the pasta onto the pieces of garlic bread and munch as if it's a pasta bruschetta. Yum!
I like thin spaghetti (because it cooks faster) with How to Make Tomato Sauce|tomato sauce and meatballs. If I'm in a hurry, I just serve it with garlic and oil, and a bit of romano cheese.
When I cook spaghetti, I boil them in water, with salt and oil. After the water has disappeared, I add tomato sauce.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
