Cook the pasta in well salted boiling water according to the package directions, just until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. (taste test the pasta 2 minutes before the cooking time on the package)
While the pasta is cooking, add the remaining ingredients to a large skillet. Break up the drained tuna with a fork into large chunks. Heat gently on medium heat on the stovetop until everything is hot.
Drain the spaghetti; add to the skillet. Toss well, adding a little more oil, if needed.
