Step 1
Combine the chickpeas, garlic, oats, nutritional yeast, flaxseeds, and chia seeds in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the lemon juice, miso paste, basil, oregano, onion powder, and black pepper. Pulse until thoroughly mixed. Transfer to a large bowl and add the shredded zucchini. Stir together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pinched between two fingers. If the mixture is too wet, add a little nutritional yeast or ground flaxseeds to absorb excess moisture.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking pan with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Step 3
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture at a time and use your hands to roll the mixture into balls. Arrange the zucchini balls on the prepared baking pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until firm and lightly browned.
Step 4
In a food processor, combine all the chimichurri sauce ingredients plus ¼ cup of water and pulse to combine. Set aside.
Step 5
Cook the pasta according to package instructions in a pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain and return to the pot. Add the chimichurri sauce and toss gently to combine. Divide the pasta into shallow serving bowls and top each portion with 2 or 3 zucchini meatballs.
