with Roasted Green Beans
Perhaps there is nothing more beloved than the classic Italian meatball sandwich. It’s basically everything that’s good and right in the world, sandwiched between a buttery baguette. And this one’s extra special thanks to melty mozzarella and a homemade tomato sauce! More familiar with the grab-n-go lunch sandwich? This one turns the deli version totally dinner-worthy thanks to a side of roasted potato wedges. Yep, that’s one sublime sub!

Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) to room temperature. Wash and dry produce.
Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges.
Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion; season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 5-7 minutes.
Add tomato paste and half the Italian Seasoning. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and darkened, 30-60 seconds. TIP: If you like things spicy, add a pinch of chili flakes from your pantry.
Add marinara, stock concentrate, ½ cup water (¾ cup for 4 servings), and a pinch of sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
Stir in meatballs. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to cook until sauce is very thick and meatballs are warmed through, 2-3 minutes more.
Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper.
Once potatoes are done, remove sheet from oven.
Toast baguettes, cut sides up, directly on middle rack until golden, 2-3 minutes.
Spread softened butter onto cut sides of baguettes and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Fill baguettes with meatballs and sauce; sprinkle tops with mozzarella. Return to top rack until cheese melts, 2-3 minutes.
Divide meatball subs and potato wedges between plates. Serve.
