  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, return to the pot, and stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil so the noodles don't stick to each other; set aside.
  • Slice chile peppers and discard seeds. Soak peppers in hot water for 10 minutes; drain.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tuna and tomatoes. Add sliced, drained chile peppers, parsley, and basil; season with salt and sugar. Stir well, lower heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add fettuccine noodles and tuna sauce; stir-fry until evenly coated. Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese and stir-fry until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.
