Instructions
- In a medium ball, mix plant-based meat, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning and salt in a bowl. Stir with a large wooden spoon until well combined.
- Roll into balls (about a heaping tablespoon each) and place on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large pan. Add meatballs and cook, turning often and being careful not to burn, until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes.

- Warm tomato sauce in a small pan.
- When the meatballs are done cooking plate them with your desired pasta and pour tonmato sauce on top. Enjoy while it’s nice and hot!
