Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
7 cloves garlic (peeled and slivered or minced)
¼ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 ½ teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 large fresh basil sprig (or ¼ teaspoon dried basil)
4 French rolls
Butter
Garlic powder
12 to 16 large meatballs (fully cooked and warmed)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil (optional for topping)

Steps:

  • With an immersion blender, food processor, or blender, process tomatoes until mostly pureed--the texture of chunky salsa. You can also turn the tomatoes out into a bowl and crush them with your hands (don't discard the juices).
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and cook just until it starts to turn lightly golden--watch carefully so it doesn't burn! Add the tomatoes and their juices to the skillet along with water, salt, sugar, oregano, red pepper flakes, and sprig of basil. Cover with splatter screen and bring to a good simmer, turning up the heat if necessary. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes until sauce is thickened. Taste and add more salt if needed.
  • Remove basil sprig.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Butter both sides of your French rolls and sprinkle garlic powder over the top. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly toasted.
  • Add a couple tablespoons of sauce to both sides of each French roll and top with 3 to 4 meatballs and 1/4 cup of mozzarella. Bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
  • Add fresh basil if desired. Serve and enjoy!
