1 cup pecans, chopped coarsely
2 cups soda crackers, crushed coarsely

Directions
Blend cottage cheese until smooth. Pour into a mixing bowl. Add the egg whites, onion, pecans, crackers, sage, and garlic powder and mix well. Allow to thicken in refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Form mixture into 2-inch balls. Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes. Pour the tomato sauce (my marinara sauce has .5 tbsp olive oil, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tsp dried basil, .5 tsp dried parsley, .25 tsp salt) and heat in oven until sauce bubbles, about another 10 minutes.
Cut hoagie rolls in half and lightly brush cut sides with olive oil. Toast rolls in 400 degree F oven until very lightly browned.
