This is a complete meal all on one plate, perfect for kids who want to finish quickly—serving three separate courses can be boring. This meal is practical because if you have leftovers, you can pack them for lunch, since it can be eaten cold without any problem.

Steps

1

Drain the tuna and place it in a bowl.
2

Chop the onion and tomato, then mix them in.
3

Beat the eggs and mix them in.
4

Shape the mixture into croquettes, pressing as you go to remove excess moisture.
5

Shape each croquette and dip it in the beaten egg.
6

Then coat it with breadcrumbs.
7

Shape all the croquettes and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
8

While the croquettes are chilling, cook the pasta with onion and garlic for about 15 minutes.
9

Once the pasta is tender, drain the hot water and rinse it under cold running water (this step is important to keep the pasta from sticking together).
10

In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the sour cream, stirring constantly. Add the chicken bouillon powder and pepper. Keep stirring.
11

Add the pasta and mix well.
12

Now fry your croquettes.
13

Serve the croquettes, pasta, and steamed vegetables on a plate.
