Directions

  1. Cook your lentils.

  3. In a food processor or blender, pulse together the lentils, vegetables, kale, dried basil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Once mixed, transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the breadcrumbs. Combine the mixture until just sticky enough to form a ball.
  5. Place the meatball mix in the fridge and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 420ºF and prepare a baking sheet with a silicone liner or non-stick foil.
  7. Combine the tomato sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan. Simmer on low to make your pasta sauce.
  8. Separately boil water to cook your pasta.
  9. Once the oven is hot, form the meatballs into 1-2 inch balls. Place on the tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
  10. After 10 minutes, flip the balls and cook for another 5 minutes.
  11. Once done and your pasta is cooked, plate the pasta with the sauce and meatballs, top with vegan or non-vegan parmesan, serve and enjoy!
