Spaghetti(ni) and *Meat*balls

I told myself I would try to eat out more this week, but I couldn't help it and ended up cooking. I am attempting to increase my protein intake, and I wanted some spaghetti and marinara since lunch. So wandering around the supermarket I decided to buy a tube of their fake meat... its really not the best product, but I thought I could spice it up.

"Meat"balls (Alice's recipe uses beef and pork)




1 tube of fake meat (1lb?)
salt and pepper
olive oil
day-old acme baguette, no crust, ripped to small pieces and soaked in milk
cayenne
half onion shredded
1 clove garlic ground into paste
chopped oregano
chopped parsley
1 egg

fried in olive oil

I made a simple tomato sauce with a regular sized can of organic tomatoes (no san marzanos at the local store cause they suck), the other half of the onion sliced, my italian spice mix that has dried garlic, red pepper and parsley. half a small carrot shreded. grated parmesean.

and instead of spaghetti i made fresh spaghettini with 00 farina and some eggs with that omega fat my weight lifting book recommends.
