Method

- Add the peppers and fry for a few minutes until they have softened (al dente)

- Add the tuna and stir everything gently to blend the ingredients. Then add the passata, capers, olives and bay leaf and then stir and leave the sauce to heat through on a low heat. Stir occasionally.

- In the meanwhile bring a pan of water to boil, adding a pinch of salt. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente (not too soft) according to the instructions on the packet. Drain the spagetti when cooked and lift it into 2 warm serving bowls.

Spoon the sauce over the spagetti, add a sprinkle of parmasan cheese and serve.
