I've learned spaghetti is as versatile as chapati.. can be eaten by itself or with any side dish. spaghetti and meatballs is such a common dish that i wondered if it could be vegetarian-ised. and what you know... it can be! so we soaked up some black-eyed peas (alasandalu), pressure-cooked till soft and sauted them with some chopped onions, tomato, ginger and green chilli. when cool, made the mixture into patties and grilled them for 5 minutes on the skillet (tava). made the pasta as per instructions on the box ( i use the whole grain ones). added some store-brought marinara sauce and my very favorite maggie hot and sweet sauce to the cooked pasta. once i toss these together to coat the pasta, i soaked my black-eyed peas patties in the marinara sauce and voila! we have the very vegetarian spaghetti with b-e-p balls!
PS: We ate the leftover b-e-p balls with chapati, tastes great!
