In a medium pot bring the quinoa and water to a boil

Turn the heat to low and place a lid on the pot

Set a timer for 30 minutes

When the timer goes off remove the pot from the heat and use a spoon to stir the quinoa until it sticks together and starts forming an almost dough like texture

Add the parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper

Stir until thoroughly combined

Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes (lid off) or until you can handle it safely

Form the quinoa into meatballs (I got about 20 meatballs)

In a large oven safe pan (it’s going under the broiler) add the oil and the meatballs

Cook on medium heat, turning the meatballs occasionally to get evenly browned

Top the meatballs with the sauce, heat until the sauce is warm

Top with the cheese and place under the broiler until the cheese is melted

Serve and enjoy!!
