ITALIAN MEATBALL SUBS

Italian Meatball Subs image

This is one of those recipes you always come back to. A flavorful tomato sauce and mildly spiced meatballs make a hearty sandwich filling, or they can be served over pasta. I broil the meatballs first to quickly brown them. -Jean Glacken, Elkton, Maryland
