1 (185 g) can tuna in olive oil
1 (440 g) can of peeled roma tomatoes ( egg shape)
1 small white onion, diced
sea salt
crushed black peppercorns
capers
grated parmesan cheese

Meanwhile, in a large pot, boil salted water and cook spaghetti.
Dice tomatoes and add to pan.

Add tuna to mixture and stir.
Drain spaghetti.
Add capers to mixture.
Place spaghetti on warm plates.
