Ok. Just wanted to know, I have never made "meatballs" before. I have seen some soy ones at the supermarket which are in an italian sauce.
 
Last night, I made spaghetti & meatballs (all vegan). Meatballs made with Match Meat's sausage. Match Meats are not like other faux meats. They are geared toward upscale preparation. It is meant to be an accurate substitute for real meats (it is minimally spiced and starts out soft, but attains firmness as you cook it, like real meat). I took the mushy meat and added cayenne pepper, oregano, basil, garlic, salt and pepper and formed them into balls and baked them. Their sausage is actually more satisfying and meaty than real sausage. It's a tremendous product, for sure. This dish was soooo good...

To elaborate on the preparation, this meat does not come pre-formed as meatballs. I had to thaw it, add spices, mix it up by hand, form them into balls and cook them in the oven before adding them to the pasta.
