Vegan Cashew Cheese Pasta With Walnut Almond Meatballs

The most incredible "meatballs" to ever grace a pasta dish!

I adore the gratifying flavor and simplicity of making walnut meat and have been singing its praises to everyone- including disbelieving nonvegan and vegetarian friends.
As for making meatballs (my first time!), the story is quite uniquely different.
Walnuts have to be soaked. Enhanced with slivered almonds (also soaked) and rolled oats and instead of being raw (which is also just as seriously good!!!), walnut meat recipe is transformed into the most addictive meatballs. Pan fried to perfection, these amazing meatballs are great for pasta topping and sandwich filler with a delectable exterior crunch and inside contains a tender juiciness.
