Italian Sausage Meatball Heroes image

Fresh marinara sauce makes all the difference in these robust sandwiches. Look for it near the cheeses and fresh pasta at the supermarket. From Bon Appetit May 2007.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb italian sausages, casings removed
24 oz purchased fresh marinara sauce, divided
1/2 c freshly grated parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 oz)
1/3 c chopped fresh italian parsley, divided
1/3 c chopped fresh basil, divided
4 pieces french baguette, split horizontally (5- to 6-inches long)
1 c coarsely grated whole-milk mozzarella cheese, packed

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • 2. Mix sausage, 1/2 cup marinara, Parmesan, 2 tablespoons parsley, and 2 tablespoons basil in large bowl. Using wet hands, shape mixture into 8 meatballs.
  • 3. Bring 2 tablespoons parsley, 2 tablespoons basil, remaining marinara, and meatballs to boil in large skillet. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, turning often, about 20 minutes.
  • 4. Place baguette bottoms on baking sheet; spread each with about 2 tablespoons sauce from skillet. Cut meatballs in half in skillet; overlap 4 halves on each baguette bottom. Spoon remaining sauce over meatballs, then sprinkle mozzarella over, dividing equally.
  • 5. Bake until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and basil and cover with baguette tops.

These meatballs were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll drain them on paper towels next time.

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili flakes next time.

I made these meatballs in my air fryer and they were perfect! They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

I'm not a fan of fennel, so I omitted it from the meatballs. They still turned out great!

These meatballs were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I added some crushed tomatoes and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs were still dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still delicious.
