Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. To a large bowl, add sausage and half the Parm. Season with salt and pepper, then combine. Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- On the prepared baking sheet, arrange meatballs. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10 - 12 min or until browned and cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- On another parchment-lined baking sheet, add broccoli, remaining Parm, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast in the top of the oven until golden-brown, 8-10 min.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over medium heat. When hot, add crushed tomatoes, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Cook 2-3 min, until slightly thickened.
- Add pesto. Cook 1 min, until warmed through, then season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the pan from heat.
- Once meatballs are cooked through, add to sauce, then toss to coat.
- Cover to keep warm.
- Once meatballs are added to the sauce, halve then arrange buns, cut-side up, on the same baking sheet. Sprinkle over cheese.
- Toast until crispy and cheese is melted, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!)
- Divide buns between plates, then top with meatballs and any sauce from the pot.
- Divide broccoli between plates.
