Ongeveer 1 min

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it cook for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Ongeveer 30 min
Tip van de kok: The longer the sauce simmers, the richer its flavor will be. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Completely cover the top bread slice and sides of the sandwich with provolone cheese slices.
