Ingredients
- 2 x 185g cans tuna in spring water, drained
- 2 spring onions , chopped
- 1 egg , beaten
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 350g jar tomato and chilli sauce (we used Loyd Grossman), or make your own (see below)
- ½ a 70g pack rocket , roughly chopped
- 400g spaghetti
Instructions
- Squeeze excess water from the tuna, place in a bowl with the spring onions and egg, then stir together. Use your hands to shape into small walnut-size balls – you should get about 12.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, tip the tuna balls in, then cook for 5-10 mins until golden all over. Pour over the tomato & chilli sauce, then cook for 5 mins more, adding a little boiling water if the sauce looks dry.
- Meanwhile, boil the pasta, then drain. Stir through the sauce and most of the rocket. Serve in bowls with the tuna balls and a little extra rocket on top.
