Spicy rice balls over pasta

2 cups cooked rice (I use brown but you can use white)
1/2 C quick cooking oats (don't use instant oatmeal)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1/4 C dry bread crumbs
1/4 C milk
1 T chopped fresh or 1 t dry basil
2 t chopped fresh or 1/2 t dried oregano
1/4 t ground red/cayenne pepper
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 C wheat germ
1 T veg. oil
2 C spaghetti sauce

Mix rice, oats, onion, bread crumbs, milk, basil, oregano, red pepper and egg. Shape mixture into 12 balls, roll in wheat germ. Heat oil in 10-in skillet on medium. Cook balls in oil about 10 mins, turning occasionally, until golden brown.

Heat spaghetti sauce, serve over pasta of your choice. Sprinkle parm. cheese over if desired.

Carlos loves these and doesn't believe there's no meat in them, ha!
