Vegetarian "Meatballs"

This is my favorite go to dinner recipe. Sometimes you just have to have spaghetti & meatballs!  Best served with salad, crusty bread, and a glass of wine accompanied by a Diana Krall CD, which my kids now refer to as "pasta music". Vegetarians and Non-Vegetarians alike love these. Especially kids. I was hesitant at first to serve them to my daughter's friends - but they gobbled them up and wanted more!
                                                       
Ingredients:
3/4 cup Walnuts (finely chopped)
1 cup Breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp Minced Onion
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
2 Eggs + 2 Egg Whites
Pinch of Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
1 jar of Tomato Sauce

Directions:
Pulse walnuts in food processor until finely chopped. Add walnuts, breadcrumbs, onion, cheese, eggs, salt & pepper to a bowl and stir until a loaf forms. Form into meatballs. This recipe makes about 16 meatballs. Saute in a pan coated with oil - until lightly browned. Pour in a jar of Tomato Sauce, cover and cook on low 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook pasta!
