- Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes or until the meatballs are completely cooked through.
- Meanwhile using a serrated knife slice the baguette in half lenghwise and remove some of the bread from the inside to make a "pocket" to hold the meatballs inches.
- In a small bowl mix the soft butter with garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt, spread over the inside slices of both breads, then sprinkle with black pepper to taste.
- Place the bread inside the oven the last 4-5 minutes of the meatball baking time and bake until the bread is lightly toasted.
- In a medium saucepan warm the pasta sauce over medium heat.
- When the meatballs are cooked add them into the sauce and toss to coat.
