1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil (5 litres). Add a pinch of coarse salt.
2. Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
3. Break up the 400g of tuna with a fork in the pan. Add the zest of one lemon, then halve the lemon and squeeze the juice from both halves into the pan.
4. Stir in the juice with a wooden spoon. Add the capers and chopped parsley and mix through.
5. Season with salt and pepper, mix again, then simmer for 5 minutes and remove from the heat.
6. Cook the fusilli (300g) in the boiling water for 1 minute less than the packet time.
7. Return the pan to low heat and add 1 cup of pasta water. Stir well.
8. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan. Toss well, adding more pasta water if needed, for up to 1 minute until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
