2 tbsp original sprouted buckwheat

- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt - or to taste
- 1 box of your favorite pasta + sauce
Directions

2. Make your flax seed "eggs" - mix 2.5 tablespoons of ground flax seed with 6 tablespoons of water. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
3. Mix together the chickpeas and flax seed eggs.
4. Mix in the remaining ingredients. If the mixture is too sticky, add more breadcrumbs half a tablespoon at a time. If too dry, add a little chickpea liquid or oil.

6. In a 450 degree oven, bake the chickpea meatballs for 20-25 minutes, turning over halfway through.
