Meatballs (sub) sandwich with mozzarella

It starts with a mini baguette that’s toasted, split in half and stuffed with meatballs coated generously with tomato sauce. A thick slice of mozzarella is arranged on top of each meatball before the whole package goes into the oven just long enough to melt the cheese and heat the meatballs through. Tiny basil leaves are dropped in before the meatball sandwich is served.

Spaghetti and meatballs

Spaghetti and meatballs

An Italian-American dish, spaghetti and meatballs is comfort food for generations. I’ve cooked it so many times but I have to admit that it’s only recently that I found the real secret to the best meatballs for this dish. Lighter and bouncier meatballs. Not overbearingly dense. That’s how I like them.
Cook time: 20 minutes minutes
