What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Daily Special: Meatball Marinara Moat! Lately we’ve been having some maintenance and home improvements done on the house. Whenever I have workmen around, I tend to offer them a bite to eat without hindering the project at hand. I needed something hearty and filling without anchoring them down afterwards. This savory sandwich sealed the deal when served with a portion of potato salad on the side.
MEATBALL MARINARA MOAT
Ingredients:
1 4-pack hoagie rolls, top cut
16 Italian meatballs, pre-cooked
8 slices provolone cheese
24-ounce jar of all-natural tomato and basil sauce
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
Instructions:
Place meatballs in a covered casserole dish. Add tomato and basil sauce. Heat through on 30% power for 10 minutes in the microwave. Slice an opening in the top of the hoagie roll, hollowing out a portion to create a “moat” for the fillings. Place two slices of cheese in each hoagie, allowing them to overlap. Spoon 4 meatballs with sauce into each sandwich, lining them in a row. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Carefully wrap each hoagie in foil and place in a warm oven until ready to serve.
This looks incredible I could eat one right now….. gah *slobbers*

Omg. You are just awesome, Gail. I just love how you make the food so interesting. Next time when I make meatballs in tomato sauce i won’t serve it with spaghetti, but with those rolls for sure. π
