Meatballs and spaghetti

Meatballs and spaghetti

Ingredients
 

  • 1 box vital wheat gluten (found in vegan bread section)
  • 1 cup quaker oatmeal (from the canister) processed into flour

  • Italian spices and seasonings
  • tomato sauce
  • oil
  • any pasta you want
  • toasted powdered nuts (optional)

Preparation
 



Combine vital wheat gluten with enough water to make a
gummy mass. Boil the tamari water. Slice the gummy mass
into small peices and boil them for a few minutes, or until
they swell and are no longer sticky. Drain and cool the
pieces and grind them in a cuisinart until the mass
resembles cooked ground beef. Transfer to a bowl and add
the oatmeal flour, italian seasonings, and salt and pepper
to taste. Make into balls and fry balls until crispy on
the outside, then add to boiling tomato sauce mixed with
enough water to cover all the balls. Simmer on low for an
hour until alot of the water has cooked off. Cool balls
slightly while you cook the pasta because they hold
together better when they are not piping hot. Carefully
remove balls to a serving bowl and reconstitute some of the
sauce with water before serving. Serve over the pasta with
the sauce on the side. You can use toasted powdered nuts
in place of parmasan cheese as a topping.


Refrigerate leftover meatballs and use for meatball subs
and sandwiches the next day. They are even better the next
day and will keep in the fridge all week. After that,
freeze for up to six months.
