Ingredients
• 2 lbs. mix of ground pork, veal, and beef (flexible)
• ½ onion, grated
• 2 stalks celery, grated
• 1 large carrot, grated
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 (32 oz) cans crushed tomatoes
• A few fresh basil leaves
• ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1 package spaghetti
• U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish filets
• Creole seasoning, to taste
• Hot sauce, to taste
• ½ cup buttermilk
• 1 cup fish fry
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• Oil, for frying
• Sandwich bread
• Butter, for toasting bread



Directions
1. Prepare Meat Sauce:
Brown the meat mixture over medium heat, then drain and set aside.
Sauté the grated onion, celery, and carrot until soft. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the browned meat back into the pan.
2. Simmer the Sauce:
Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan. Season to taste and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Stir in fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese. Reserve ¼ of the sauce in a bowl for later.
3. Cook the Spaghetti:
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Once done, mix it into the pan with the sauce and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Prep and Fry Catfish:
Slice the U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish filets thinly. Season generously with Creole seasoning, hot sauce, and buttermilk. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, mix the fish fry, flour, and cornstarch. Dredge the seasoned fish in the dry mix.
Heat oil to 350°F and fry the fish until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
5. Assemble the Sandwich:
Toast the sandwich bread with butter to your liking. Layer the bottom slice with a portion of spaghetti and meat sauce, followed by a piece of fried catfish. Top with the second slice of bread.
6. Serve and Enjoy!

Strange combo to say the least, somebody had leftovers & made a whole new sandwich & that's the birth of cooking & experimenting. I love both, but together? Maybe. 😊
