I'm new to cooking with fresh tuna, other than 1 attempt at Blackened Tuna steak a few years ago. Thanks to a successful deep sea fishing trip, I have plenty to experiment with now. This was so incredibly easy to make and absolutely delicious!! I will sneak a polpette to my son, I'll be he won't know that it's not chicken or turkey! Thank you Rachael!

I have made this twice now and it is very easy and has good flavor. Last night I used anchovie fillets instead of paste, the taste was no different. Be warned, the anchovies splatter ALOT when cooking. For those who like Putanesca sauce, this is definately a hit!!

This recipe is so very easy and fast. Even the family who do not eat fish loved it. You can not go wrong serving this special dish.

I really wanted to like it, but the flavors didn't work for me at all. Sorry Rachel...I still love your show, though

I had some frozen tuna steaks and didn't have a clue how to prepare them. Went into Publix and they had everything I needed to go on my quest for dinner. To sum it up, this recipe was a hit! My 8 and 2 year old girls loved it.

Wonderful!!! Made as directed other than....a little onion powder, garlic powder and a little extra salt to the balls. Grated about 1.5 T of lemon zest. into sauce. Slowly cooked meatballs (tunaballls a little longer in the sauce. Next time I would save some money and use canned tuna and maybe canned black olives---we love them. Served over penne pasta, but next time would use spaghetti. We LOVED this!

Rachel, You hit a home run on this one! The tuna looks like a chicken meatball, has a wonderful taste and the sauce has just the right amount of heat. My wife and I prepared it last night and were very pleasantly surprised. We served our dish with grilled zuchinni, great complimentary flavor. Thanks! Jim H

I just could not make this work at all. I needed to add sugar and other ingredients to the sauce to make it tasty and the tuna balls were a total failure.

I made this tonight with an entire box of pasta. I kept the polpette the same (yummy! but made them a little smaller. for the sauce, I added the whole container of anchovies, doubled the garlic, capers, olives, and tomatoes. I read some reviews about it being bland, so I spiced it up with garlic powder, crushed red pepper, dried oregano, and juice of a whole lemon. You can add what ever you like, but I would encourage you to add lemon to this dish. It needs the acidity and it really complements the fish. Overall, I would make this for company with a great salad.
