Homemade Meatball Subs

Ingredients

1 jar (570 ml) Healthy Harvest® Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce

1 small carrot, peeled and chopped

1/2 small chopped zucchini

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 slice of wholemeal bread cut into cubes

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons of milk

1 egg

1 1/2 teaspoons of Italian dried herbs

1/4 teaspoon each sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 lb (454 g) lean ground beef

Preparation

Thinly chop the carrot, zucchini, and garlic in a food processor. Add the bread, cheese, milk, egg, dried herbs, salt, and pepper, and blend the ingredients without puréeing.

Pour into a bowl. Then add the crumbled beef. Mix gently to blend with other ingredients; prepare 18 meatballs.

Meanwhile, heat the sauce in a large frying pan over medium heat. Then add the meatballs to the sauce and partially cover. Simmer for 15 minutes, turning meatballs over after 8 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the meatballs and serve them on submarine rolls or a bed of hot cooked spaghetti.
