Step 2: Form mixture into 12 meatballs and place on a baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake meatballs 20 minutes until cooked through.

Step 4: Meanwhile, heat Bertolli pasta sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Step 5: Add cooked meatballs to sauce and simmer 5 minutes.

Step 6: Split hoagie rolls and toast lightly in oven for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7: Spread a thin layer of basil pesto inside each toasted roll.

Step 8: Place 3 meatballs with sauce in each roll, top with shredded cheese.

Step 9: Return to oven just until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Chef's Tip: Form meatballs ahead and freeze for an even faster weeknight meal. Add a pinch of Italian seasoning to the meat mixture. The pork keeps the meatballs extra juicy, and a swipe of pesto adds a fresh herb note.

Save by using Ground beef stretches far, and sale sauce and cheese make these subs affordable and delicious. and Serve with Mixed green salad or potato chips.
