Method

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta.
2. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the parsley.
3. In a large pan, warm the oil with the garlic clove and a pinch of chili flakes.
4. Add the tomatoes and cook over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes until they soften.
5. Drain the tuna very well, flake it with a fork, and add it to the pan.
6. Drain the pasta al dente, reserving a little cooking water, and toss it with the sauce.
7. Turn off the heat, add the fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips

• Draining the tuna oil and adding a measured amount of EVO oil helps control the fats without losing flavor.
• Toss the pasta vigorously at the end to create a light emulsion with the tomato juices.
