Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into 12-16 meatballs, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat the herb tomato sauce over medium heat until simmering.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise. Place 3-4 meatballs in each roll, spoon over some of the warm herb tomato sauce, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  6. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled sandwiches under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Add Pesto

    Remove from the oven and drizzle with pesto before serving.
