Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180˚C).
- In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper.
- Pinch off a ball of the mixture, roll between your hands to make ping-pong ball-sized meatballs.
- Cook the meatballs over medium heat, turning to brown each side. Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel.
- Slice the baguette into thirds or fourths (each baguette piece should be roughly the same length of two meatballs).
- Hollow out the insides of the baguette pieces with a knife.
- Lay two slices of mozzarella on top of each other with a 1-inch (2 cm) overlap. Place two meatballs on the overlapping region, then fold the mozzarella tightly around the meatballs.
- Push the rolled meatballs and cheese into a baguette piece.
- Slice the stuffed baguette pieces into 1-inch (2 cm) slices, then place them tightly side-by-side on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- In a small bowl, mix together ingredients for garlic butter.
- Brush the garlic butter evenly over the baguette slices, making sure some drips in between the slices.
- Wrap the foil over the re-assembled baguette and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and the top is starting to brown.
- Remove the foil and serve with marinara.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F with rack at center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For the meatballs: Pour breadcrumbs in a small bowl, add a few grates of nutmeg and douse well with milk. Toss and let the milk absorb.
- Place the meats in a large mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper, combine them and make a well. Rip off some parsley tops and finely chop; add to meats. Peel garlic. Grate in garlic with plane or chop by hand into meats. Pour in cheeses, sprinkle on fennel and red pepper flakes. Add egg and EVOO. Roll up sleeves, take off your jewelry. Combine the mixture and quarter the meat. Form each quarter portion into 2 large balls and place on parchment; roast 15 to 18 minutes.
- For the sauce: Meanwhile, in a medium Dutch oven or a deep cast-iron skillet heat EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, and melt butter into oil. When it foams, grate in garlic and stir 1 minute. Add canned tomatoes and passata. Break up tomatoes with spoon and bring to a bubble. Stir in basil leaves. Reduce heat on sauce a bit and let it bubble away 15 minutes, breaking sauce up with a paddle or spoon occasionally. Add salt and sugar if needed.
- For the garlic bread: While sauce and meatballs are cooking, heat EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, in a small pot or pan over medium heat and melt butter into it. Crush and grate garlic into butter and remove from heat. Split bread and add to oven a rack below the meatballs. Toast 5 minutes. Remove and brush with all the garlic and oil, top with cheese and chop a little parsley to sprinkle on top. Return to oven, warm another 3 minutes to set, remove.
- Remove meatballs from oven, drop into sauce and let them roll!
- Serve meatballs in rimmed plates or shallow bowls and add cut garlic bread for the mopping.
