Pull Apart Saucy Meatball Sliders

Method

1. Preheat fan oven 180C

2. Start by browning off the meatballs in 2 tbsp of oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Stir until evenly browned then pour in the pasta sauce and simmer for 5-8 mins until the meatballs are thoroughly cooked then set aside

3. Using a small serrated knife cut out a circle from the top of the roll leaving at least a 1-2 cm edge. Scoop out the middle but leave enough on the bottom so that they are sturdy enough

4. Place the cut sliders onto a lined baking tray

5. Using a spoon or clean hands place a meatball into each cut slider and top with a little extra pasta sauce. Repeat until all the sliders are done - reserve the remaining pasta sauce in a serving bowl to heat later for dipping

6. Sprinkle with grated mozzarella and parmesan and drizzle over the garlic butter using a brush

7. Bake in the hot oven for 10-15 mins or until the cheese is golden

8. Serve straight from the tray onto the table and garnish with fresh herbs, extra garlic butter and a side of warm pasta sauce for dipping
