simple tuna spaghetti

1 can tuna
juice of 1 lemon
good handful chopped flat leaf parsley
three heavy slugs of extra virgin olive oil

Squeeze out the liquid from the tuna and place in a bowl. Separate with a fork and add the oil, lemon, sugar, pepper and capers. Set aside and heat plenty of water for the pasta.
