Huh?

Ruth Ejankowski October 31

I've made this recipe from rachel ray many times. I came to this website looking for something different. even the "handfuls" are exactly as rachel writes her recipe, including the worchestershire sauce. I've never heard of any authentic italian chef making 5 minute marinara sauce, on if its a 30 minute meal!! Shame on you.

Yup, this is Rachael's recipe, right down to the Worcestershire sauce you claim is your own inspired addition. First, I suspect the Italians know nothing of a "Meatball Sub". Second, what chef gives away his recipes to tourists? Did he translate it into English for your convenience also? Third it's so easy to see you stole this from Rachael, why add insult to injury by making up the Italian chef story? You insult my intelligence! Zilla B., you are a fraud!

It's a great left over too. All you have to do is make the whole sandwich cold an then warm it up in the toaster for 7-8 min.
