Vegan Spaghetti and Meatballs

This is a great healthy Easter recipe because everyone loves the comfort of a beautiful bowl of Spaghetti and Meatballs.  It makes a great lunch for Easter for everyone being gut friendly, gluten free, dairy free and vegan by using the Burger Mix to create the Meatballs.  No bloating, no irritation and no missing out on enjoying Easter lunch the same as all the family.  Kids, adults and carnivores all alike love the taste of this recipe.  I have made it several times on repeat requested from family and friends.  

Ingredients

1 Bag of goodMix Burger Mix
½ medium zucchini grated and squeezed dry
1 medium carrot grated
1/3 to ½  cup  of besan flour
Corn flour for rolling
Avocado or Extra Virgin Olive Oil for frying
1 bottle of organic tomato passata
3 tablespoons of oregano
2 teaspoons of pink Himalayan Salt
1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
1 vegan stock cube (optional)
1 packet of gluten free spaghetti

Method

Empty contents of Good Mix Burger mix into a mixing bowl and add water and oil as per the bag instructions.

Add your grated vegetables and around 1/3 cup of besan flour.  Enough to hold the mixture together.  You will know if you require extra flour or if it is dry, add a little more oil.

Roll the mixture into mini meatballs and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.

Remove the meatballs from the fridge and roll in corn flour.

Fry the meatballs in enough oil to cover half way up the meatballs in the fry pan.  Turn regularly and fry on medium heat until golden brown and crunchy.

Remove the meatballs from the pan, then add to the tomato passata and spices.  Simmer the sauce covered for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Once the sauce is cooked, return the meatballs to the sauce and simmer together for a few more minutes.

Cook the gluten free pasta in 3 litres of rapidly boiling water with salt.

Once the pasta is cooked, pour over the sauce and meatballs.

Makes around 30 Mini Meatballs
