Step 1

In the bowl of your food processor add the tuna, garlic, basil, breadcrumbs, egg and some seasoning.

Step 2

Pulse the mixture until fully mixed and the tuna is shredded.

Step 3

Once fully combined, roll the mixture into 8 meatballs shaped tuna balls

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and sear the tuna balls for 3-4 minutes. When you have some color on the tuna meatballs transfer them onto a plate and refrigerate them until needed.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the olive and saute the onions and garlic for 1-2 minutes on medium heat until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes and spices to the pan.

Step 7

Bring the marinara to a light boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes.*If the sauce is thick, add a little water to the pan.

Step 8

After simmering the sauce for 20 minutes, taste and re-season the sauce if needed.

Step 9

Carefully place the tuna meatballs into the sauce, spooning some of the sauce over top of the meatballs.*Be careful not to stir the meatballs around, so they don't break up

Step 10

When you put the sauce on simmer, start your pasta water. *Allow the sauce to continue simmering on low with the tuna meatballs in the sauce while the pasta cooks.

Step 11

Begin cooking the pasta when you add the meatballs to the sauce.

Step 12

Add a little of the sauce into the pasta and divide between four bowls. Place two tuna meatballs on each portion of pasta with additional sauce.

Step 13

Serve with grated cheese and enjoy!
