Italian Sausage Meatball Heroes image

This is a true man pleaser, think of it for TV game parties. Fresh marinara sauce makes all the difference in these hearty sandwiches. Look for it near the cheeses and fresh pasta at the supermarket. I'm thinking that a mess of meatballs could be made ahead and frozen to be used as and when wanted.

The meatballs were a bit too dense for my taste, but the sauce was very flavorful. I would recommend using a lighter type of sausage or adding some bread crumbs to the meatball mixture.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs turned out perfectly. The sauce was also very good, although I did add a bit more garlic than the recipe called for.

The meatballs were a bit dry for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend adding some more moisture to the meatballs, perhaps by using a different type of sausage or adding some chopped vegetables.
