Meatball Sub Bites
  1. Preheat oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment. Place a wire rack inside sheet, then spray rack with cooking spray.

  2. In a medium bowl, beat 1 egg to blend. Add beef, onion, Provolone, garlic, parsley, bread crumbs, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and ½ cup Parmesan and gently stir until combined.

  3. Using a 1 ½-tablespoon cookie scoop or measuring spoon, portion out 1-ounce balls of beef mixture. Working one at a time, flatten with the heel of your palm, place mozzarella in the center, and enclose beef mixture around mozzarella. Arrange meatballs on prepared rack.

  4. Bake meatballs 10 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a plate and let cool. Remove rack, replace parchment, and increase oven temperature to 425°.

  5. Divide dough into 24 (½-ounce) portions. Flatten each with the palm of your hand, then place a meatball in the center. Enclose dough around meatball and transfer to prepared sheet.

  6. In a small bowl, beat remaining egg. Brush tops of dough with egg wash. Sprinkle each with a pinch of remaining Parmesan.

  7. Bake sub bites until dough is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.

  8. In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. Cook garlic, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

  9. Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, Parmesan, salt, and red pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.

  10. Arrange sub bites on a platter. Serve with marinara sauce alongside.
