Galbani® Sensationally Spicy Meatball Sub

INGREDIENTS
| 3 | Meatballs, cut in half |
| 4 oz. | Marinara |
| 1 tsp. | Calabrian chili paste (or ½ tsp. red pepper flakes) |
| 2 slices | Ciabatta bread (3-4 inches) |
| 1 tsp. | Extra virgin olive oil |
| 2–4 oz. | Galbani Provolone, sliced |
| 2–4 oz. | Galbani Premio WMLM Mozzarella Block, sliced |
| Arugula, for garnish |
METHOD
-
In a pan, add Calabrian chili paste (or red pepper flakes) to marinara and bring to a simmer while stirring.
-
Add the meatball halves to the sauce and simmer on a low flame, covered, until nice and hot.
-
Toast the slices of ciabatta bread lightly on both sides. Place one of the toast slices on a baking sheet and brush both with olive oil.
-
Arrange the slices of Provolone on one slice of the toasted bread. Then, carefully spoon the meatball halves evenly on top of the cheese, compressing them slightly.
-
Place Mozzarella slices on top, covering the meatballs.
-
Place in preheated oven for 2 minutes until cheese is slightly melted.
-
Remove from oven and move carefully to a serving plate with a spatula, taking care not to lose the melted cheese on top.
-
To serve, garnish the sandwich with crisp arugula leaves, and add the second toast slice on top. Serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
