Meatball Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    If using homemade meatballs, ensure they are fully cooked. If using frozen, heat them according to package instructions.

  2. 2

    Warm the Marinara Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat until it simmers.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the La Cucina bread horizontally. Place the meatballs inside the bread, then generously spoon the warm marinara sauce over the meatballs.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the Pecorino Romano cheese followed by the mozzarella cheese on top of the meatballs and sauce.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
