Spaghetti with Vegetarian Meatballs in Creamy Tomato Sauce

For the 4th day of combo Dishes under BM#56, Buffet on Table, I have combination that I have been wanting to make for the longest time. Infact maybe from the time I started blogging. Every time it used to be with meat and I used to wonder when I will get around making a Meatless Dish. So when I was planning the combo dishes, this was the first one I wrote down.

When I started cooking for the Mega BM, I wasn't sure how soon I will get around making all the dishes. Somehow 4 of the dishes got down by the week before the BM started. I was having this alone left behind. So I decided to make it on a weekday, especially on the day we cook non veg and I won't have much cooking to be done. I had planned on making it for Konda's lunch.

I also cooked the all the spaghetti on hand and made Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe that Chinnu had been asking me since I made it. Somehow it got delayed and I ended up packing it for my lunch and Chinnu completed whatever spaghetti that was for Konda. Anyway my colleagues enjoyed it, saying it was too delicious. I agreed it was indeed and I now will have to make it again for Konda as the sauce and meatballs were stocked for her.

I had bought in Soya granules and made a meatball with it. The combination for today were inspired by this and this


For the day 4, it is Spaghetti with Vegetarian Meatballs in Creamy Tomato Sauce from Italy for you!
