Fill the saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt once the water is boiling.
Drop the pasta into the boiling water and let it cook for the time on the package (usually 8 to 10 min). Stir now and then with the wooden spoon.
Once the pasta is cooked, tip it into the colander to drain. Save a little cooking water if needed.
Peel the onion and dice it small on the cutting board.
Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook it for 2 to 3 min until translucent.
Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet with the onion. Let it simmer over low heat, stirring now and then.
Flake the drained tuna by hand or with a fork and add it to the tomatoes. Mix well and let it warm for 2 min.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the tomato and tuna sauce. Mix well to coat the pasta. If it looks too dry, add a little of the saved cooking water.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
