If you are like me, you cringe at the idea of wasting good food, especially when you made the effort to prepare it from scratch. If you made Chicken Parmigiana and Marinara, this delicious sandwich will make a terrific lunch from your leftovers, assuming you have any. ‘Panino della Marina’ translates to ‘Godmother’s Sandwich’. This is a less spicy analog to another great sandwich creation, The Godfather Spicy Meatball Sub. Buon Appetito!
