Ingredients

Meatballs:

1 lb ground beef

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 egg

1/8 cup plain breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

1/8 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper

Sauce:

1 lb. 12 oz can plum tomatoes

2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

3 garlic cloves, chopped

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

4 large basil leaves, torn in half

6 slices Provolone

3 sub rolls

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Parmesan for sprinkling

1) Preheat oven 400 degrees.

2) In large, deep saucepan, sauté garlic in olive oil on medium-high until golden. Add can of plum tomatoes and break up with a wooden spoon. Add basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 8-10 minutes on medium low. Keep on low heat while you prepare the meatballs.

3) Meanwhile, mix all meatball ingredients together in large bowl and form into 6 balls about the size of a lime. Place meatballs on a tinfoil or parchment-lined sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

4) Remove meatballs from oven and nestle them into the saucepan with the tomato sauce. Simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes, then flip the meatballs over and simmer for another 10 minutes.

5) Prepare the subs:

If the bread isn’t pre-sliced, slice the bread making sure not to cut all the way through. Open up the roll, and place a slice of provolone on each side of the bread. Place the rolls, cheese side up, under a broiler for 5 minutes or until melted and bubbly. Place 3 meatballs in the roll, and top with a spoonful of sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan and chopped parsley.

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup (two sticks) butter, melted

2 Tbsp. grated orange peel

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. anise

1 Tbsp. orange juice

1) Preheat electric pizzelle iron

2) Measure all ingredients into a large bowl. Mix at low speed until well blended, scraping sides of bowl with rubber spatula.

Close the iron and cook until light golden-brown, about 1-1 1/2 minutes (check instructions on your iron). Gently transfer cookies to cooling rack—they will crisp up as they cool.
