Preparation

Step 1

Make the meatballs; Soak bread in milk for 5 minutes. Gently mix bread and milk with meats, percorino Romano, parsley, garlic, egg and 1 tsp salt. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll mixture into twenty-four 1 ounce balls (each about the size of a golf ball).

Heat sauce in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Drop meatballs into sauce, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, partially covered, until meatballs are cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

Make the sandwiches; Preheat oven to 400F. Working in batches, arrange rolls, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Place 1 meatball, a spoonful of sauce, 1 tbsp pecorino Romano on bottom halves. Bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Sandwich with basil.
