Cooking instruction summary:

In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with ricotta cheese, eggs and oil.In a large bowl, add all other meatball ingredients then add the breadcrumb mixture and gently work with your hands to combine.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a sheet tray with a piece of parchment paperYou will need a 1-once scoop and a small bowl of water. To validate the meatball size, make one meatball with scoop and weigh. It should be 1-once.Hint: Scoop a large amount of meatball mix into your hand and use the scoop to scoop out the meatballs from your hand, rubbing the scoop edge on your palm. As the filling in your hand lessens, scoop another large amount into your hand. Make sure to dip the scoop in water every two or three scoops. Once you get this rhythm going, you can get pretty fast. I usually scoop them onto my cutting board and then pick each one up and roll in my palms and place neatly on the lined sheet tray.The mixture should yield about 70 meatballs.Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until cooked through. Remove to cool if making ahead.While meatballs are cooking, heat the sauce in a pan big enough to fit the cooked meatballs and the sauce. Also split the sub rolls.Once the meatballs are cooked, use a slotted spoon or spatula and remove to the sauce.Move oven temperature to 475 degrees F.Line another sheet tray with foil.Line up sub rolls on the tray and fill them with whatever quantity of meatballs and sauce you want. We fit seven per roll and made ten of them.Sprinkle on some Parmesan and lay the sliced provolone cheese over each one, letting the cheese overlap onto the roll top.Place uncovered in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is brown and bubbly.Remove to serving dishes and enjoy.

Food Joke

I tried not to be biased in hiring a handicapped person, but his placement counselor assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. I had never had a mentally-handicapped employee, and I wasn't sure I wanted one. I wasn't sure how my customers would react to Stevie. He was short, a little dumpy, and had the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Down Syndrome. I wasn't worried about most of my trucker customers because truckers don't generally care who buses tables as long as the meatloaf platter is good and the pies are homemade. The four-wheeler drivers were the ones who concerned me; the mouthy college kids traveling to school; the yuppie snobs who secretly polish their silverware with their napkins for fear of catching some dreaded "truck stop germ;" the pairs of white-shirted business men on expense accounts who think every truck stop waitress wants to be flirted with. I knew those people would be uncomfortable around Stevie so I closely watched him for the first few weeks. I shouldn't have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his stubby little finger, and within a month my truck regulars had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot. After that, I really didn't care what the rest of the customers thought of him. He was like a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a bread crumb or coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only problem was convincing him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished. He would hover in the background, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, scanning the dining room until a table was empty. Then he would scurry to the empty table and carefully bus the dishes and glasses onto a cart and meticulously wipe the table up with a practiced flourish of his rag. If he thought a customer was watching, his brow would pucker with added concentration. He took pride in doing his job exactly right, and you had to love how hard he tried to please each and every person he met. Over time, we learned that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled after repeated surgeries for cancer. They lived on their Social Security benefits in public housing two miles from the truck stop. Their social worker, who stopped to check on him every so often, admitted they had fallen between the cracks. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home. That's why the restaurant was a gloomy place that morning last August, the first morning in three years that Stevie had missed work. He was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester getting a new valve or something put in his heart. His social worker said that people with Down Syndrome often had heart problems at an early age so this wasn't unexpected, and there was a good chance he would come through the surgery in good shape and be back at work in a few months. A ripple of excitement ran through the staff later that morning when word came that he was out of surgery, in recovery and doing fine. Frannie, my head waitress, let out a war whoop and did a little dance in the aisle when she heard the good news. Belle Ringer, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at the sight of the 50-year-old grandmother of four doing a victory shimmy beside his table. Frannie blushed, smoothed her apron and shot Belle Ringer a withering look. He grinned. "OK, Frannie, what was that all about?" he asked. "We just got word that Stevie is out of surgery and going to be okay." "I was wondering where he was. I had a new joke to tell him. What was the surgery about?" Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers sitting at his booth about Stevie's surgery, then sighed. "Yeah, I'm glad he is going to be OK," she said, "but I don't know how he and his mom are going to handle all the bills. From what I hear, they're barely getti.
