& whole wheat spaghetti . . . errrr, meatball sandwiches, anyone?
I didn't make the spaghetti. You see, pasta with marinara sauce is my go-to lazy dinner. With final papers looming on the horizon and an AC that done busted on me I haven't been a very ambitious singleton in the kitchen. Rather, I've been spending a lot of time with the good ole pasta and red sauce. Don't get me wrong, I like it a lot. There are three go-to meals that I eat when I don't feel like cooking or don't have time to cook: 1. the aforementioned pasta 2. scrambled eggs and toast 3. cereal. I've enjoyed all of those things quite a bit lately so my taste for pasta isn't what it usually is. I was going to go ahead and make the spaghetti and meatballs anyway and then I saw Sara's (Imafoodblog) Ultimate Meatball Sandwich this morning and all of the sudden spaghetti seemed so much less than delicious. I wanted an ultimate meatball sandwich, too! Up to Whole Foods I go . . . no acceptable bread . . . get French bread and pretend.
These meatballs are so insanely good and I liked the red sauce a whole lot, too. I didn't change anything about the recipe except for the whole spaghetti thing and it was fabulous. I will for sure be making these turkey meatballs again -- they've replaced the Martha Stewart turkey meatballs that I used to make. These meatballs won hands down -- it almost wasn't even fair. Thanks to Oddball Oven Mitt for choosing such a great recipe!

mmmm. those meatballs do sound good. pasta is one of my go to meals, too. my favorite jar sauce is classico four cheese. mmm. of course i had to add more cheese :)
Those look so yummy! They've been popping up all over my Google Reader today and now I'm really craving a meatball sandwich :)
They won with both wings tied behind their backs, eh? I adore meatballs (hate making them b/c of the browning thing) and really love them as a sub. With lots of sauce. Usually when I have a meatball sub, though, I'm wearing white jeans and I spill half in my lap. While I'm driving (meatball sub from Subway...)

Your sandwich looks great! I also saw Sara's post and took some of my leftovers and made a meatball sandwich...it was great! I'm glad you were able to find the time to make this one, and that it's become a new favorite!
Meatball sandwiches are the best. In fact, you've given me a great idea for tomorrow nights dinner!
Looks great, maybe even better than mine own sandwich! :) So glad you liked this recipe.
OH YUM! I LOVE meatball sandwiches! I use a Rachel Ray recipe thats pretty good...but now I have changed it up from some throw down recipe I found. SO good!!
How cool that you made it a sandwich. Looks good (but messy--but that is a mark of a meatball sub!).
What a great idea!
I know I will be making the entire dish again, but the meatballs were delicious and that sandwich looks SO GOOD!! Oh, cheese...how I love you. Stay cool if you can.
Your meatball sandwich looks delicious!!
These meatballs sound deeelish! I'm a huge meatball fan--put 'em on pasta, put 'em on a sub, doesn't matter: I love 'em. I hear you about the end of semester stress. It's why I haven't been a good commenter as of late. These finals are totally stressing me out, too!! And what have I been eating? Scrambled eggs and cereal :)
