In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine ground beef, egg (not included in your box), panko, 2 tsp. soy sauce (not included in your box), and a pinch of pepper. Form mixture into ten evenly-sized meatballs, about the size of ping-pong balls. Transfer meatballs to prepared baking sheet. Roast in hot oven, 12 minutes. While meatballs roast, cook pasta.

3 Cook Pasta and Bake Garlic Bread
Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in colander and return to pot. Toss with 1 tsp. olive oil and set aside. While pasta cooks, combine half the garlic (reserve remaining for sauce) and 1 Tbsp. butter (not included in your box) in another mixing bowl. Top cut sides of French roll evenly with garlic-butter, then a pinch of salt. Carefully remove baking sheet from oven and push meatballs to one side. Baking sheet will be hot! Use a utensil. Place roll halves on baking sheet and bake in hot oven until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. While bread bakes, make sauce.

4 Make the Sauce
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add remaining garlic to hot pan and cook until aromatic, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, pasta cooking water, and 1 tsp. soy sauce (not included in your box) . Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a low simmer and add meatballs. Stir occasionally until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-7 minutes.
