Fry the onion in the olive oil in a frying pan on a low to medium heat for 20 minutes so that they are a light caramel colour.
Add in the garlic and oregano and stir, making sure it doesn’t burn.
Add the chopped tomatoes, seasoning, sugar and balsamic vinegar and allow to simmer on a low heat for a further 20 minutes. Be careful to make sure your sauce doesn’t boil.
Meanwhile cook pasta according to the pack instructions.
When the pasta is almost ready, flake the tuna into the tomato sauce and allow it to warm through gently.
Combine the pasta with the sauce and serve.
