Method

There's nothing as magnificent as a meatball sub and our quick and easy version uses pre-made meatballs as a simple shortcut. Serve your sub laden with rich tomato sauce and melty cheese for a seriously satisfying lunchtime treat.

  1. Add the meatballs and brown all over for 5 minutes on a nonstick pan. Add the herbs and tomatoes then bubble for 10 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is reduced. Pile the saucy meatballs into the baguette and sprinkle over cheese and allow to melt a little before eating with a big green salad and plenty of napkins.
