TUNA BALL
There's nothing fancy about the tuna ball, but it tastes great at parties and other get-togethers. Chopped pecans give this blend of tuna, cream cheese, and onion a light crunch. I love this appetizer with veggies, crackers ,and veggies.

When the spaghetti has been cooking for a few minutes, spoon a ladleful of pasta water into the cherry tomatoes to make a sauce.

TUNA MEATBALLS
One day I didn´t have any kind of meat at home, but I saw two cans of tuna on the shelf and said to myself: if I cook other kind of meatballs why not make tuna meatballs. I cooked them, my kids and husband loved them since then, and I still cooking them. It is very easy, I hope you like it!
