Meatballs and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Assembly

1

Make the Meatballs

In a large bowl, combine ground veal, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

2

Form and Bake

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Form the meat mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.

3

Prepare the Sauce

In a saucepan, heat the Spanish tomato sauce over medium heat until warmed through.

4

Assemble the Meatball Melts

Slice the sub rolls in half lengthwise. Place the meatballs on the bottom half of each roll, spoon the warm tomato sauce over the meatballs, and top with slices of provolone cheese.

5

Melt the Cheese

Broil the assembled sandwiches in the oven for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6

Serve

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately.
