Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • 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.
