Put the pasta on to boil.
Chop the shallot and pepper into small cubes, and fry in a generous amount of olive oil until the shallot is clear and both are soft. Crush and add the garlic along with the tomatoes, cut in half. Turn down the heat and keep frying until the tomatoes collapse to mush. Add the tuna, sugar, tomato puree and basil leaves, stir for another minute, and serve on the pasta.
