Soyballs! Well, you'll see when you read the post.

This is something I make when my vegetarian yeti wife is looking for either pasta and meatballs or meatball sandwiches. Mmm, these are fantastic meatball sandwiches. I think I'm going to go have a sandwich right now. I like them with provolone and under the broiler for just a minute.

Required ingredients (it's a short list, isn't it?):
4 vegan Boca Burger patties at room temperature. If you like some other sort of soy based veggie burger go ahead and try it at your own risk. I haven't. Yetis find something they like and stick with it. Don't use a crumble soy product - it won't work.

Optional:
1 to 2 eggs depending on other dry ingredients whatever else you normally put in meatballs. The eggs will help the other ingredients bind with the soy patties.
¼ cup finely diced onion
2-3 cloves minced garlic or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 dashes of salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon dry prepared mustard
2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce
If you want to use soup mix, try to use one that’s low sodium or these turn out way too salty.
Sometimes I put in a sprinkle of breadcrumbs, or I replace the ketchup and mustard with salsa.
Pasta sauce of your choice and 1 pound of pasta (spaghetti or angel hair)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place ingredients in large bowl. Mix well with hands. Lightly grease a large iron skillet or baking tray. Take 1 tablespoon portions of the mix and form into balls. If you use your hands to form the balls it is easier if you put some oil or water on your hands first. The balls won't stick to your hands as much.

Place the soy balls in an oven-proof skillet about an inch apart. Bake in oven 40 minutes. Balls are done if tops are not mushy when pushed on lightly with a spoon. They should look and feel like meatballs. If you have one of those fancy thermometer type devices, you're looking for an internal temperature around 220F. Some egg or liquid may ooze out; this may be added to the pasta sauce. Mix with pasta and sauce or use in place of meatballs in another recipe such as sliced on a pizza. Trust me, this works. Or fry them. Etc. Use your imagination.

Serves 1 Yeti with leftovers for a small sandwich, or serves 3-4 people with pasta, or 2 hungry college students as meatball sandwiches.
