Spaghetti & Beanballs



This is a cheap and easy recipe to make fast.  It tastes great, and most of all it has NO FAT or CHOLESTEROL!  Can’t beat that.

Ingredients:
1 can (15 ounce) red kidney beans, drained
1 large can tomatoes
1 garlic clove (mince it)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 bell peppers, sliced
1 onion, sliced
¼ cup whole wheat flour
Salt n pepper, to taste
Nutritional yeast, sprinkle on top (optional)
Basil, to taste
Oregano, to taste
Ketchup
Whole wheat noodles, cooked (I used edamame pea noodles)

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350.

2. Mash your beans with a potato masher or fork.

3. Sprinkle your beans with you seasonings. Make sure you season this well, as beans soak in a lot of season. Next pour in about a table spoon or two of juice from your can of tomatoes followed by your flour. Watch how much flour you pour in.

4. Now get your hands mushy and form the bean balls, then place then on a greased pan or cookie sheet.

5. Set in oven for about 15 minutes, do watch them as well as they will get brown on the top.

6. In the meantime, sauté your garlic in a pan with olive oil for about 3 minutes and add your peppers and onion to cook for another 3 minutes. Then add your can of tomatoes. Season as needed. Then let simmer for about 10 minutes.

7. Removed your meatballs and place them on your plate with your noodles, then pour the sauce over them and sprinkle with nutritional yeast (to give it that cheesy nutty taste).

LOVING FOOD AS PEACE…
