Before you start

Medium lidded pan l Frying pan

Prepare the ingredients for the sauce

  • Peel and grate the garlic

Prepare the meatballs

  • Warm the oil in the skillet over medium heat
  • Once warm, add the meatballs and a pinch of salt and pepper to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the meatballs have begun to caramelise

Finish the sauce and meatballs

  • Place the meatballs evenly over the top of the sauce, put the lid on, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes lifting the lid every so often to let out a little steam

Prepare the rolls and finish the filling

  • Grate the cheese
  • Cut the hoagie rolls and toast in a frying pan - cut side down - over medium heat for approx 1 minute (you can (vegan) butter the rolls to give them a little crisp if you like)
