Hey M that sounds great- I would try 3/4 cup almond flour instead of the breadcrumbs (or chickpea or rice flour if those work with your traditions.) You might want to try both 1) baking them THEN adding to the soup and 2) putting the uncooked balls directly into the simmering soup to see which texture you like best. Good luck and great idea using quinoa for Passover. Would love to hear how it turns out! Thanks s-j, this is one of my favorites.

Can you think of a substitution for the breadcrumbs? More eggs? Almond meal? I'm thinking of serving these in a chicken or vegetable broth (instead of a matzo ball). Thanks!

Beetroot Brownies? Swoon! I hope the meal filled you both with love and appreciation and that you both started chewing different ends of same piece of spaghetti to meet in the middle for a kiss. Thanks for the comment - great to know about the baking. Vanessa Ohmygosh, your Valentine is so lucky. Beetroot Brownies? Swoon!

The sauce was easy and REALLY good. For Valentine's Day, I served it over some spaghetti cooked in red wine (red pasta!) and ended with some beetroot brownies (also red)!. Bomber combination Vanessa - thank you. Baked the quinoa balls in the oven @ 500 F and they came out really crispy (just like being fried!). The sauce was easy and REALLY good.
