Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a medium pot, add the lentils and 2 quarts water. Set the pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the lentils until soft but not falling apart, about 25 minutes.
- Pour the cooked lentils through a colander and let cool. In a large frying pan set over a medium-high heat, saute the carrots, onions, celery, garlic, thyme and salt with the 1/4 cup olive oil until the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes.
- When the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, stir in the tomato paste. Cook, stirring constantly, until the paste darkens, about 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and saute, stirring frequently, until completely cooked and browned on edges, about 15 minutes. Remove vegetables from frying pan and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled vegetables with lentils and all remaining ingredients, save for the 2 tablespoons olive oil and the pesto. Mix until well combined. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to cool completely, about 25 minutes.
- Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into a large 9-by-12-inch baking dish, making sure to coat evenly. Roll the lentil mixture into round, golf-ball-size meatballs, making sure to pack the balls firmly. Place lentil balls into the oiled baking dish, making sure none of the meatballs touch one another.
- Roast the lentil balls until firm and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Allow the meatballs to cool for five minutes before removing them from the tray. Serve with pesto.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the walnuts out on a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and roast until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Set the nuts aside to cool.
- Fill a large stockpot three-quarters of the way full with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Next, fill a large bowl with ice water.
- Drop the spinach and basil into boiling water and give the leaves a stir. After 1 minute, remove the greens and plunge them into ice water. Discard the boiling water.
- Once cool, remove the greens from the ice bath and squeeze them dry. Give them a rough chop and transfer to a food processor.
- Add the salt, olive oil and Parmesan to the food processor and blend until a uniform, pesto-like consistency is reached.
VEGETARIAN MEATBALLS
No one ever knows these are vegetarian. These also make great cocktail meatballs in a slow cooker with sweet and sour, Asian, or barbecue sauce.

THE BEST VEGETARIAN MEATBALLS EVER!
Seriously. I've made these twice within the span of about 10 days. My omnivore bf LOVED these too. The fennel really gives them that authentic italian meatball flavor, so don't omit. Served these with a cranberry glaze on them (Recipe #107450), mashed sweet potatoes, and some kale. Parmesan cheese occasionally contains rennet, so omit if you're a strict vegetarian. Could even keep these warm in a crockpot/slowcooker with the cranberry glaze on top for a fun party/finger food.

Steps:
- In large bowl combine all ingredients for the meatballs, using a fork or your hands to mix together.
- Cover the bowl and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes, but up to 8 hours if you're prepping ahead of time.
- When ready to bake, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Use a large cookie scoop to make 2 inch round meat balls and place a few inches apart on your cookie sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn the oven up to a broil and broil until the meatballs are sizzling and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve hot! My favorite is with homemade tomato sauce and fresh pasta. Enjoy!
VEGETARIAN MEATBALLS
Seasoned with Parmesan, ricotta, fennel seeds and oregano, these meat-free Italian meatballs capture all the flavors of the classic. Cremini mushrooms and chickpeas mimic the texture of ground beef, bulgur helps bind the mixture together, and ricotta keeps it tender. The balls are rolled in a light coating of bread crumbs and Parmesan that crisps as it bakes, but if you prefer a saucy meatball, skip the coating and simply bake until firm, then simmer in marinara. Any extra coating mixture can be toasted in the oven and sprinkled over roasted veggies or creamy pastas. Leftover meatballs can be frozen and reheated in a 425-degree oven until warmed through, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bring 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the bulgur, remove from heat, cover and let sit until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, pressing to remove excess water, then let cool.
- Prepare the coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the oil, 1/2 cup bread crumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan; mix until well blended and crumbly. Set aside.
- Prepare the meatballs: In a food processor, pulse garlic until finely chopped. Add mushrooms, and pulse until chopped, with pea-size pieces remaining (do not purée). Transfer to a large bowl. Add the chickpeas to the food processor, pulse, then add them to the mushrooms. Add the remaining 1/3 cup breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan, plus the bulgur, egg, ricotta, fennel seeds, oregano, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon water; mix until well blended.
- Form the meatball mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs (you should have about 24). Roll meatballs in the coating, pressing gently to adhere, then arrange on a greased baking sheet. Bake, turning halfway through, until golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve with marinara sauce, for dipping.
VEGETARIAN "MEATBALLS"
I just invented these on a whim because my non-vegetarian husband loved the "Tofu Nut Balls" recipe here, but I was out of the ingredients. This is a bit more like traditional meatballs. I don't work for Boca, but in a small town vegetarian choices are limited to what the Walmart will stock. They even held up to a short simmer in spaghetti sauce once baked. We both loved them! I even saved a few to add to a savory herb gravy for a po-boy. Mmmm...
