Spaghetti with Lentil “Meatballs”

Countries around the Mediterranean have their own way of making and serving meatballs. In Spain, we saw albondigas on tapas menus, sometimes served in a sauce with toothpicks. In Italy, polpette may be served alone or even in soup. This is my vegetarian twist on the common dish, served with pasta.
Ingredients
- lentils
1⅓ 264 g - Breadcrumbs
½
Method
Mix the ingredients well then roll the mixture into 1-in (2½-cm) balls. Fry them in a generous amount of olive oil on med/low, turning a few times, until browned on all sides. I serve them hot over spaghetti with marinara sauce, sprinkled with fresh thyme. They are also great as an appetizer served with toothpicks and marinara or pesto for dipping.
