1. Prepare Beanballs, Marinara Sauce, and Pine Nut Cream
First, gather and prepare your Beanballs, Marinara Sauce, and Pine Nut Cream as described in their respective recipes. With these components ready, you’ll have all the building blocks for your subs.
2. Preheat Oven
Next, preheat your oven to 350º F. This will ensure it’s hot and ready by the time you need to bake your beanballs.
3. Bake Beanballs
Place the prepared Beanballs on a tray. Pour about 1 cup of marinara sauce over them, ensuring they are generously coated. Spoon the Pine Nut Cream over the top, allowing it to spread slightly. Bake the beanballs for 20-25 minutes, until the pine nut cream is set and lightly golden.
4. Prepare Hoagie Rolls
While the beanballs are baking, prepare your hoagie rolls by splitting them open.
5. Assemble Sandwiches
Once the beanballs are ready, it's time to assemble your sandwiches. Spread a layer of marinara sauce inside each hoagie roll. Distribute the beanballs evenly among the rolls, nestling them into the marinara. Add a layer of fresh spinach leaves on top of the beanballs.
6. Top and Serve
Finally, top the sandwiches with an extra spoonful of marinara sauce. Close the sandwiches and, if necessary, slice them in half for easier handling. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of savory beanballs, creamy pine nut spread, and fresh spinach in every bite.
Use the best quality canned or fresh ripe tomatoes for the marinara sauce and ensure fresh, non-rancid pine nuts for the creamy spread.
Ensure a good balance of savory, acidity, sweetness, and richness, adjusting seasonings as you go.
Pulse bean mixture until just combined but still textured to avoid overly dense beanballs.
Sear beanballs in hot oil without overcrowding for flavor and to maintain shape during cooking.
Toast sub rolls and spread a generous layer of pine nut spread on both sides to prevent sogginess and maximize flavor.
