Mash Up Monday! Spicy Pasta with Tuna Meatballs

I can barely contain myself as I type.
I am so excited to post this recipe for you. 
It’s been a while since there’s been a MashUp Monday meal but this week, not only is it a mashup its meatless (which seems to be the ”trend” - Meatless Mondays, pffft I like my meat)

The idea came about by way of a company, Aurora Importing, who has just recently started what they call “Recipideo Roundup”.  Every month they create a YouTube video of a simple recipe for folks to try, which also has the opportunity to win gift certificates for their online store (in Canada).
Now, you can follow the recipe to a tee or you can be creative.
Obviously I don’t follow a mold especially when its a new recipe – I like to ensure there are items in the dish that my family is going to eat.

This month’s recipideo was for a spicy tuna pasta.
Sounded good to me.
Except I don’t eat fish.
I will however eat tuna from a can, but as I just told my mother, I have to “WANT” to have that, a craving as you will. (which happens maybe 3 or 4 times a year).

The video depicted taking jarred tuna stored in oil and tossing it into the sauce.
I’ll stop you right there – not eating it.  Its got chunks of fish.  Nope.  Won’t do it.
The fam probably wouldn’t eat it either.
How can I make this dish into something I would eat?
Meatballs – of course (light bulb pulsating above my head)

Thank you to Aurora Importing for helping my creative juices flow and allowing me to change up my pasta dish from including meat!

Why is this a mashup you ask?  Simply put – who makes tuna into meatballs?  Nough said.

Try it, enjoy it!
