1 cup cooked quinoa
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup part skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Here is how you make Quinoa Lentil Meatballs:

Marinara sauce, optional Add all ingredients to a deep bowl. Mix very well, using hands or a wooden spoon. Cover and refrigerate for two hours or overnight. When ready to cook, shape mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. I used a melon bal tool to form the meatballs. You have two cooking options: 1) Heat about 1/2-inch of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Addshaped "meatballs" and cook until browned all around, turning only once. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let excess drain off.OR2) In a 375 degree oven, place meatballs on a nonstick pan and bake for 30 -40 minutes rotating meatballs every 10 minutes. Cooking time depends on meatball size. After cooking, add to simmering marinara sauce if serving immediately, or store in a tightly covered container up to three days.
