Step	Instructions
1	Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain and toss with a bit of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
2	Steam the fresh tuna fillet until partially cooked, then dice it into small cubes.
3	Finely chop the onion and roughly mince or grate the garlic. Sauté both in butter or oil until fragrant and golden.
4	Boil the fresh tomatoes until soft. Once cooked, blend them into a smooth tomato sauce.
5	Add the blended tomato sauce to the sautéed onions and garlic. Allow it to simmer until it thickens slightly, then add the diced tuna.
6	Stir in the tomato sauce, along with salt, sugar, and oregano to taste. Simmer the sauce until the tuna is fully cooked and all the flavors meld together.
7	To serve, plate the spaghetti and generously top with the tuna sauce. Finish by sprinkling grated cheese over the dish.
