Method
[b]If, like me, your tired of eating meatballs with spaghetti try this recipe for a change.It tastes 10 times better than the original 'subway' and your kids will love you for it :)[/b]


1. First make the meatballs.Mix meat with all of the other ingreadients and make into 10 meatballs. Place them on a baking tray and bake in the oven for approx.30mins at 180°c and drain off any fat.

2.Whilst the meatballs are cooking make your sauce. Heat up the olive oil in a large frying pan and gently fry the garlic and onion till softened. Then add the tomato puree and continue cooking for a couple of minutes. Add the tinned tomatoes, the herbs and the chilli powder. Let the sauce cook gently for about 30 mins stirring occasionally.

3. When the meatballs are done, throw them into the tomato sauce and let them cook for a further 10-15 mins.

4. When you're ready to serve, slice open the rolls and fill each roll with 2 meatballs (sliced in half) and some of the sauce. Top with mozzarella and pop them into the still warm oven for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
