Ingredients:
- 1 can of HOP Hearts of Palm Pasta
- 1 pack of ground beef
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 chopped onion
- half a pack of chopped parsley (optional)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 can tomato sauce

Directions:

- In medium frying pan, add oil and fry each meatball on medium to high heat, until dark brown - don't overfly them - cut one open to make sure the inside is still a little uncooked. After frying, place onto tray with napkins to drain out oil. Empty the excess oil from the pan and keep the pan for later.
