Units
Scale
- 12 pre-cooked meatballs (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Optional: chopped parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.

- Spoon 3 meatballs and sauce into each roll.
- Sprinkle each with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, then a pinch of Italian seasoning.
- Drizzle olive oil lightly over the tops for extra crispness.
- Bake uncovered for 15–18 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.

Notes
- Use toasted rolls for extra crunch and structure.
- Try with turkey or plant-based meatballs for a lighter option.
- Great served with a side salad or fries.
