Here's a recipe that is super quick and easy to make, since it utilizes some pre-made store-bought ingredients. It's awesome and very healthy for a quick lunch or dinner. I've started using quinoa in place of pasta, for the added protein and subtracted calories :) I don't miss the pasta at all! This meal is just a spinoff of the famous spaghetti and meatballs dinner, only healthier and veganized:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup uncooked quinoa
5 Morning Star brand meal starters meatless meatballs
Scant 1/2 cup pasta sauce of your choice
Directions:
Cook the quinoa with 1/2 cup of water on the stovetop over medium-low heat. Add more water if necessary.
Follow the instructions on the box of the meatless meatballs, but usually I cook 5 meatballs for two minutes, turning over at the one minute mark.
Toss the quinoa, meatballs, and pasta sauce all together for a filling dinner for one! Totals about 350 calories, and packs in the protein :)
