Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce and Tuna Patties

Tuna is one of the easiest ways to get fish in to a daily routine of eating fish. Especially here in Utah where it's really hard to find fresh fish in the supermarket, and it's usually really expensive too.. But don't worry, because there are alternatives out there! And canned Tuna is one of the really easy one to work with, and there are millions of varieties, you just need to learn to find them. 


So here is one example of an easy tomato sauce with tuna patties, and of course spaghetti as an extender.


Sauce:
1 red onion
3-4 cloves garlic

1 tomato
1 big handful of herbs as: basil, rosemary, and oregano
140 g tomatopuré 

2 cans tomatoes
1½ tbsp balsamic
5 big sundered tomatoes
½ lemon, juice

Tuna Patties:
2 cans of tuna (in water)
2 eggs
60 g shredded carrots
2 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp panko
3 tbsp oats
1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
2 cloves garlic (finely minched)
Salt + pebber

Others:
500 g whole wheat spaghetti
Parmasan cheese
Fresh basil and oregano


Directions:

  1. Peel and minch onion and garlic. Cut the tomato and herbs into small dice.
  2. Heat up a little bit of oil in a deep skillet. Needs to be big enough to hold the cooked spaghetti too later on. Sauté onion and garlic. Add the tomato and herbs. When cooked for  a couple of minutes add tomato puree, and canned tomatoes. 
  3. Add balsamico and chop the sundried tomatoes and add as well.  
  4. Add the lemon juice and let it simmer while the tuna patties are being made. 
  5. Drain tuna for water and mix with all of the other ingredients in a bowl. 
  6. Heat another pan with a little bit of oil. Shape little patties and fry until golden on each side. 
  7. Cook spaghetti al dente and drain. 
  8. Add spaghetti to the tomato sauce and serve with tuna patties, parmesan, and fresh herbs.
