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.

- 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.

SPICY TUNA PASTA
This is a recipe I tried at a friends house once. The combination is actually really tasty, I have made it unsuccessfully and successfully. The difference being the chilli peppers. The heat works so well with the tuna. It's LOW FAT too!!!! Dairy free if served without sour cream. Just to clarify spring onions/scallions I consider to be the same thing.

This is a very quick and easy recipe for a tuna tartare that will make your friends think you are a real gourmet! Try it by itself, with tortilla chips, or as a salad with sliced avocado. It goes nicely with pico de gallo, too. Use sashimi-grade tuna. If you're unsure if it is sashimi-grade, be sure to ask someone (a butcher or seafood specialist) before using it for this recipe.

SPICY TUNA PASTA WITH CREAMY FRA DIAVOLO SAUCE
This is a quick weeknight meal, and with the right tools, you'll have a fabulous meal on the table in under 30 minutes! I used a ginger tool by microplane to cut my garlic into thin slices, it's best to also use the microplane glove if using this method.

Steps:
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add oil and wait until it shimmers. Add garlic and cook quickly, being careful not to burn, about 1 minute. Carefully transfer garlic slices to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt to the same skillet. Stir and crush down tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
