Spaghetti and Bean Balls

Well, it's not spaghetti but the title was catchier than macaroni with tomato gravy and bean balls. So I went for it :)


Black Bean Balls:

1 can black beans, drained (Reserve the liquid for the tomato gravy)
1 cup thick rolled oats
1 tbs flour
1/2 cup canned italian style tomatoes, chopped (reserve the rest of the can for the tomato gravy)
1/4 cup canned whole kernel corn
1 roasted Anahiem chili, finely chopped
1/2 cup grated carrot.

Place all in large bowl and mix well. Then add:

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
1 tsp ancho chili powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbs nutritional yeast
2 tsp ground cumin

Mix well and let stand one hour or more to thicken.

Pre-heat oven to 350F

I made 8- 1/2 cup balls

Place balls on lightly oiled pan

Bake 30 min, turn bake 30 min more.
