   2      tb            Olive oil
   1                    Red chile -- dried
  10      ml            Garlic -- cut in half
  28      oz            Can tomatoes
                        Salt
   1      lb            Pasta -- cooked
  12 1/4  oz            Can tuna -- drained
                        Parsley -- chopped

Heat oil in saute pan and cook chile and garlic few minutes. Cool
slightly, then add tomatoes and salt to taste. Cook 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to directions on package. Add tuna to
tomato mixture and simmer few minutes to heat through. Remove chile
and garlic. Pour sauce over drained pasta. Garnish with chopped
parsley.

Note:

Romans prefer canned tomatoes when fresh tomatoes are out of season
and flavorless. When tomatoes are in season, substitute an equivalent
amount for the canned tomatoes. A true Roman chooses spaghetti or
rigatoni shapes of pasta. Small children are served farfalla (bow or
butterfly shaped) pasta.
