Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Stir the breadcrumbs into the milk in a large bowl and leave for 5 min until soft.

3. 3

   Add the beef, egg, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

4. 4

   Roll the mixture into 16 meatballs, each about 4 cm (1 1/2 in) wide, and set them on the tray.

5. 5

   Bake until browned and cooked through, 15-18 min. The center should reach 71 °C (160 °F).

6. 6

   While the meatballs bake, warm the marinara sauce in a wide pan over medium-low heat.

7. 7

   Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and simmer for 10 min.

8. 8

   Raise the oven to 220 °C (425 °F). Split the rolls lengthwise, leaving one side attached, and set them on a tray.

9. 9

   Fill each roll with 4 meatballs and spoon over some sauce. Top with the mozzarella.

10. 10

    Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 5-6 min. Serve with the leftover sauce.
