Preheat oven to 375º F. In a skillet, heat up 2 cups of the marinara sauce until simmering, then add 1 bag frozen Gardein beefless round. Add 1 additional cup of sauce and let simmer for about 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium size bowl, add 24 oz cottage cheese (or vegan option), 1 egg (or vegan option), 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp basil, and about 1/4 cup of mozzarella (or vegan option) and stir together.

GOODNESS IS OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLE. We choose what’s best for our customers, our farmers, our employees and our planet. It’s a tall order, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re not in the business of making shareholders happy. In fact, we don’t have shareholders. We’re in the business of cooking delicious, organic vegetarian meals for everyone. We were organic before it was a national certification. So when the U.S. Department of Agriculture decided to create standards for organic, they looked to us for guidance. Together with other industry leaders, we helped pioneer the organic food industry and, more importantly, we helped make organic food available to more people. All of our dishes are non-GMO and we’re a proud supporter of GMO labeling initiatives. Because we believe that people have a right to know what they put in their bodies. We were also the first to market with non-BPA-lined cans, and we’re happy to see many other food companies following our lead.

• Hearty meatless meatballs made with organic quinoa, lentils, tofu and flax seeds
• A rich, creamy sauce, delicately flavored with mushrooms and traditional spices. All served over tender fettuccine noodles
• We couldn’t get more comfort into this dish if we tried
• Only 260 calories
• Tree nut free

Our Story

In 1987, when Rachel and Andy Berliner were expecting their first child, they went looking for ready-made, vegetarian meals at their local natural foods store. When they couldn't find any that satisfied their taste buds, the couple decided to create their own. Their first dish was a pot pie created from a family recipe, and Amy's Kitchen was born.

Our Purpose

We cook delicious meals and snacks that are convenient, easy to prepare and accessible to everyone. We use organic and non-GMO ingredients and are committed to caring for our people and reducing waste. Our goal is to do things the right way: Right by our customers, right by our farmers and employees, and right by the planet.

Why Organic

"Organic" is better for the planet-and we think that it just plain tastes better. We have been supporting organic farmers long before it became popular, and together we helped build the organic food industry. In fact, when the USDA decided to create official standards for the "organic" label, they asked us for guidance.

How It's Made

Even though you're heating up our meals in your home, we want you to feel like you're a guest in ours. Everything that comes from Amy's Kitchen is made from scratch, from our soups and sauces to our pizzas and burritos. Using organic ingredients and time-tested recipes, our chefs cook like you would--only with bigger pots.

Product description

At Beyond Meat, we believe there is a better way to feed the planet. Our mission is to create The Future of Protein – delicious plant-based burgers, beef, sausage, crumbles, and more. By shifting from animal to plant-based meat, we can address four growing global issues: human health, climate change, constraints on natural resources, and animal welfare. Our process is simple. We source the building blocks of meat directly from plants. Using heating, cooling and pressure, we create the fibrous texture of meat from plant-based proteins. Then, we mix in fats, minerals, fruit and vegetable-based colors, natural flavors, and carbohydrates to replicate the appearance, juiciness, and flavor of meat. The result? Uncompromisingly delicious plant-based burgers, sausage, and beef, no sacrifice required. Our products offer greater or equal protein levels than their animal counterparts, no cholesterol, less saturated fat, and no antibiotics or hormones.

• Pre-formed and ready to cook, these plant-based meatballs are a convenient, nutritious and satisfying addition to any meal. Made with Beyond Beef and a signature blend of Italian spices. A delicious taste you know and love, while being better for you and the planet.
• 19 GRAMS PLANT BASED PROTEIN: Beyond Meatballs are made from simple plant-based ingredients, including peas and rice for 19 grams of protein per serving. Our products offer greater or equal protein levels than their animal counterparts.
• LESS SATURATED FAT & SODIUM: Beyond Meatballs have 30% less saturated fat and sodium than a leading Italian style meatballs. Our blend of carbohydrates helps hold our ingredients together, similar in function to cornstarch or flour, providing the right amount of texture so you can enjoy every bite.
• LESS IS MORE: Beyond Meatballs are made from simple, plant-based ingredients with no GMOs, soy, or gluten. All of Beyond Meat products are vegan, kosher and have no antibiotics or hormones. The flavors and colors in our food come from plants, and this means we don’t use synthetic additives, for any reason, and we never will.
• INCLUDES: Twelve (12) pre-formed meatballs per 10 oz package. Keep refrigerated.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this different from the vege burger with green label? Thank you
Answer:	Vege-Burger in the green can is the low fat, less sodium version.
Question:	How do you prepare this
Answer:	There are 3 things I make with this a lot. They are all ovo-lacto vegetarian friendly as is. Burger patties: Mix 1 can burger with 1/2 C. finely chopped onion, 1 egg, 1/2 C. cracker (saltine) crumbs, 1/2 C. oatmeal. Form into patties and fry in a skillet, at a little less than medium heat, until crispy on the outside. Serve as a "steak" patty or as a burger on a good bun with whatever condiments you like. Keep the heat down as you fry these so you can be sure they cook through, the egg and onion are done, and the patties hold together when it's time to flip or eat them. Low and slow is best. Chopped bell pepper and/or celery are options. Casserole #1: Saute 1/2 C. chopped onion and 1/2 C. chopped celery until limp. Add burger and keep cooking till at least partially browned. Add rubbed or powdered sage to taste. Mix in 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup thinned with about 1/2 C. evaporated milk or cream. Stir in about 8 oz. wide or extra wide egg noodles (No Yolks or any other substantial noodle you like is fine) that you've cooked until they're tender. In a 2-quart casserole dish with a lid, layer burger/noodle mixture and a generous quantity of shredded Cheddar and Monterrey Jack cheeses. Save at least 1/2 C. cheese(s) for the top. Cover. Bake in a 350 degree (F.) oven for 45 minutes. Remove cover and bake another 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. This recipe is about 50 years old and was originally called "Mock Chicken and Noodles" but it doesn't taste anything like real chicken and noodles, so don't expect it to. It is tasty, though. Casserole #2: Scrub a few Russet potatoes (enough to equal about 1 1/2 Cups when ground raw) until clean. Remove eyes or bad bruises. Peel 1 large onion. Cut potatoes and onion in wedges or chunks and run them through a food grinder together. Mix with 2 beaten eggs, 1 C. cream or evaporated milk, and 1/3 C. oil (I use olive oil). Place in a 2-quart greased baking dish, put the bay leaf on top, cover, and bake in a 375-degree (F.) oven for 45 minutes. Remove lid and bake another 10-15 minutes until the edges around the top are a bit crispy. Note: Adding the milk or cream to your mixing bowl first and stirring the potatoes and onion together with it will help keep the potatoes from darkening. Options: Celery powder to taste, ground or rubbed sage to taste, and salt to taste. I find all of the Loma Linda canned products to be salty enough without adding more salt, but suit your taste. You DO need to use a good old-fashioned food grinder for this. Grating or chopping the potatoes and onions or using a food processor will NOT get you the correct texture.
Question:	is this non GMO
Answer:	This product does contain GMO's but many of the new Loma Linda complete meals, meal starters and seafood alternative, TUNO are all non-GMO.
Question:	Where can i find the ingredients list for this
Answer:	It's a long list! But a lot if it is vitamins. Here is what it says on my can: Textured vegetable protein (wheat gluten, soy protein concentrate, water for hydration), water, corn starch. Contains 2% or less of soybean oil, yeast extract, hydrolyzed corn protein, soy protein, wheat gluten, salt, dried onion, caramel color, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate, vitamins and minerals (Niacinamide, Iron ferrous sulfate, Vitamin B1 Thiamin Mononitrate, Vitamin B6 Pyroxidine Hydrochloride, Vitamin B2 Riboflavin, Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin). So no MSG. Sodium 250mg per 1/4 cup serving. 10 g protein.
