Our fabulous jarred pasta sauce is the key to this meatless-meatball meal. For even more flavor, add chopped pitted olives to the meatball mixture. Let the kids help roll the meatballs. Ingredients | |
1 tablespoon | extra-virgin olive oil |
1 cup | chopped yellow onion |
4 cloves | garlic, finely chopped |
1 cup | roughly chopped cremini mushrooms |
1 cup | packed baby spinach |
1/2 cup | sunflower seeds |
1 cup | cooked or canned black beans, rinsed, drained and divided |
2 teaspoon 365 Everyday Value® dried Organic Basil
2 teaspoon 365 Everyday Value® dried Organic Oregano
1 cup frozen 365 Everyday Value® Organic Brown Rice, thawed
8 ounces Whole Foods Market™ Organic Spaghetti
1 (25 ounce) jar 365 Everyday Value® Organic Pasta Sauce
Method
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and spinach. Cover and cook until mushrooms are tender and spinach wilts, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a food processor, pulse sunflower seeds until coarsely ground. Add cooked vegetable mixture, half the beans, basil and oregano. Pulse until mixture is just coming together. In a large bowl, combine puréed mixture, remaining beans and rice. Stir until combined.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and transfer to a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake meatballs 30 minutes or until heated through and crisp on the outside. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain well and return to pot. Add pasta sauce and toss until combined and heated through. Add meatballs and toss very gently to combine, taking care not to break up meatballs. Serve.
