🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine all Meatballs ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Roll mixture into approximately 1-inch meatballs.
Place meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
While meatballs are baking, prepare the Sauce. Heat Olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add Garlic-minced and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add Crushed tomatoes, Dried oregano, Sugar, and Red pepper flakes to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Slice Sub rolls lengthwise.
Place meatballs inside the rolls. Top with Sauce, Mozzarella cheese-shredded, and Parmesan cheese-grated.
