Low-Fat Tuna Meatballs
20 Min Serves 4
These are of course fishballs and not meatballs, but then again we do call our tuna a steak, so it’s easy to get confused. What is unmistakable though, is the fact that these tuna meatballs are all round delicious. Succulent, tasty, and the perfect accompaniment to spaghetti.
Ingredients
- 2 110g John West No Drain Fridge Pot with a ilttle olive oil
- 1 handful of pine nuts

No Drain Fridge Pot Tuna Steak With A Little Olive Oil
Tuna steak with a hint of olive oil. This mess-free natural tuna protein is the perfect way to spruce up your lunchtime or post-workout snack. In a no drain, fridge-friendly pot, this is natural protein made easy.
Step 1
To prepare your tuna meatballs, place the tuna steak into a bowl, and then add the pine nuts, lemon zest, parsley, breadcrumbs and egg. Season and mix together with your hands until well combined. Roll the mixture into approximately 12 walnut-sized balls.
Step 2
Put a large pan of salted water on to boil, then cook the spaghetti according to the packaging instructions. Drain and put to one side.
Step 3
Heat a little olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the tuna balls for 5 minutes or so. Turn them so that they cook evenly. When golden brown, remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
Step 4
Heat the tomato sauce in the empty pasta pan, then toss gently together with the cooked pasta and cooked tuna balls. Serve with a little parmesan cheese or torn basil. Bellissimo!
