- Use high-quality ground beef with a good fat ratio (80/20%) for the best flavor and texture.
- Select a robust and flavorful pasta sauce to complement the ground beef.
- Cook the pasta al dente so that it holds up well in the sandwich.
- Lightly toast the bread slices before assembling the sandwiches to prevent them from getting too soggy.

- Serve the sandwiches with a side salad or a cup of soup to make it a complete meal.
