Cook the pasta until al dente and drain it. In the meantime make the tuna sauce. Pour the olive oil in a large pan. Add the garlic and red chili. Place the pan over medium heat. Gently fry the garlic and chili for 3 minutes.

Pour in the canned tomatoes, mash them up a little and cook them in the hot oil for 7 minutes.

Stir the sauce well and break up the biggest tuna lumps. Cook for another 2 minutes. Check the seasoning. Add extra pepper or salt to taste. Stir in the parsley. Add the cooked pasta and give it all a very good stir. Scoop the pasta and tuna sauce onto deep plates. Sprinkle with extra freshly chopped parsley and serve.
