Preparation

• Cook your pasta until 3 minutes before the finishing cooking time. Reserve a small amount of the pasta water aside.
• Add your tuna to the tomato sauce, add your sugar. The sugar helps counterbalance the acidity of the tomatoes and saltiness of the tuna.
• Add your parmesan cheese. Be fairly generous but very careful, you dont want the cheese to overpower the tuna.
• Add it bit by bit, keep tasting until it's to your taste. Bring to a boil and simmer over a low heat for 20 minutes.
  
• Add your pasta to the sauce as well as the water.Stir well and check for seasoning.
• Pour the pasta mix into a baking dish and add the cream until all the pasta has been covered.
• Sprinkle with a generous amount of parmesan and bake in the oven until it's browned. Serve with a veg of your choice.
