Spaghetti with Lentil Meatballs & Roasted Tomato Sauce

November 19, 2020 No Comments

Before we go any farther, I should tell you there is no meat in these “meatballs”. Yes, I know. Two vegetarian recipes in a row. No, I haven’t converted to a meat-free lifestyle. I’m still rocking the four veggie nights a week while hatching a Christmas plan that will likely include a porterhouse. I wrote extensively about my food philosophy in my last post, so I won’t get into it again today. But what I will do is tell you how freakin’ excellent this Spaghetti with Lentil Meatballs truly is. Yes, really. Yes, I know the name sounds like a sad vegan food joke from a 90s sitcom. But in spite of its descriptive name, this dish is not severely lacking in joy. Quite the opposite. I think it’s quite exuberant and I made a video to prove it to you.

For the past few years now, my partner and I have been eating meat-free four nights a week. It was, admittedly, a struggle for the first few weeks, but I was surprised by how quickly it became second nature. And as more and more of our vegetarian meals achieved “favorite” status, it became a joy. So you see, going meat-free doesn’t have to be a life of virtuous deprivation. Perhaps you already know this and have embraced a more plant-based diet. But if you’re on the fence, consider these Crispy Buffalo Tofu Burgers to be the nudge you may need.

Growing up, tomato soup and mushroom soup were my comfort food go-to’s. And yes, I’m talking about the condensed stuff, nothing gourmet about it. I did have one rule – the soup had to be mixed with milk. If you thinned a tin of soup with water, I was not interested. I mean, I did have standards. These days I still get a craving from time to time, but I am much more high-maintenance. I have to be feeling beyond bad to reach for a can of soup, which has happened more than I care to admit in 2020. But when I’m feeling fine and a craving crops up, I’d much rather make my own Creamy Mushroom Soup than crack open a can.

It’s been a while since I posted a brunch recipe. Figured I should fix that. To be honest, in this era of flexible routines and ambiguous WFH schedules, breakfast foods have fallen to the wayside. What has replaced them is low and slow, simmer-all-day affairs, and generally, I’m not mad about it. But I do love breakfast foods and this past week I felt a void that could only be filled by a plate of fried eggs. It was my over-active brain that chose to complicate things. It turned that simple craving for eggs into this show-stopping, cheese-heavy brunch – the Croque Madame Dutch Baby.
