Directions

Meatball Sandwich

9 Steps

  • Step 1

    In a large bowl, add ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped parsley, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg and chili flakes (if using).

  • Step 2

    Use your hand and mix everything together until well combined but do not overwork the mixture.

  • Step 3

    Once all ingredients are combined, roll into eight even meatballs (around 70 grams each).

  • Step 4

    In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium high heat.

  • Step 5

    Add meatballs into the saucepan and cook them until browned and fairly cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Add the marinara sauce to the saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Cover it with a lid and let it cook for 20-25 minutes.

  • Step 7

    In the meantime, toast your sandwich bread with butter or olive oil.

  • Step 8

    Once the meatballs are done, place them on your toasted bread and put two slices of provolone cheese on each sandwich. Broil for 1-2 minutes or until cheese melts.

  • Step 9

    Garnish with grated pecorino or Parmesan, fresh basil leaves and enjoy.
