Tomato Street is one of my family's favorite places to eat. They're amazingly kid-friendly (complete with butcher papered tables to color on, play-dough, and pasta necklaces for each kid!) and the food is A-MAZING. Not to mention, you don't get seated way in the back of the restaurant just because you walk in with anyone under the age of 12, (like another highly famous Italian restaurant chain located in CDA and up Downtown—with me, people?). But, the nearest Tomato Street to us is either Coeur d'Alene or way up North ... and I'm pretty lazy—especially when it involves packing up the family to go eat. So, instead, we've taken our favorite appetizer, La Carne Bolla's, and made our own! Here's the jiist of what they are: Homemade meatballs, mozzarella, and provolone cheese all rolled up in honey-sweetened pizza dough and baked. Served with Alfredo for dipping. Yeah, you're drooling now, aren't you? I am. It might be because I'm absolutely starving already, but really, these are SO good! And really easy! Step One—Make (or buy) meatballs with Italian Seasoning, garlic, onion, pepper, and any other spices you might want to add. Step Two—Buy (or make) pizza dough. The kind in the tubes by Pillsbury™ work perfectly. Just knead in a teeny bit of honey (optional, but it makes them taste oh so yummy), and roll out into a big rectangle about 1/8 of an inch thick. Cut into as many 3" X 3" squares as you need. Please note: You may need 2 tubes of pizza dough depending on how many meatballs you have! Step Three—Grate a bunch of mozzarella or provolone cheese (or both and mix together) and sprinkle as much (or as little) as you'd like onto each square. Then, place a meatball on each one. Step Four—Roll up each square, and pinch any of the ends together so none of the meatballs are showing through. These can be as pretty, or as messy as you'd like ... but the more cheese you can keep inside the dough, the better! Step Five—Place onto one or two greased baking sheets, and brush with garlic olive oil—garlic optional, unless you're in my house! Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until each ball of dough is a lovely brownish-gold color. Step Six—When there's only about 10 minutes left on the oven timer, heat up a jar of Alfredo sauce (I guess if you were super-neato, you could make your own Alfredo ... but I'm not that neato) on the stove to dip the Bollas into! Enjoy! Please let me know if you love these as much as I do! You WILL be stuffed after eating these!
