A delightful vegetarian hoagie featuring pecan-based meatballs, perfect for a hearty and flavorful meal.
Blend the cottage cheese until smooth and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Blending the cottage cheese ensures a smooth texture for the meatballs.
Add the egg whites, chopped onion, pecans, breadcrumbs, sage, and garlic powder to the bowl and mix well. Chill the mixture for 10 minutes.
Chilling the mixture helps it firm up, making it easier to shape into balls.
Shape the mixture into 2-inch balls.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping.
Fry the meatballs in a lightly oiled pan until browned on all sides.
Turn the meatballs gently to ensure even browning.
Place the browned meatballs in a baking dish, cover with marinara sauce, and heat in the oven until the sauce bubbles.
Covering the dish with foil can help retain moisture.
Cut the hoagie rolls in half, brush with olive oil, and toast in the oven until lightly browned. Rub with garlic cloves and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Rubbing the toasted rolls with garlic adds a subtle, aromatic flavor.
Assemble the hoagies by placing three meatballs with sauce in each roll. Serve warm.
Serve immediately to enjoy the hoagies at their best.
