Steps:

• Prepare the sauce: Heat the oil in a medium pan. Toss in 2 tbsp of the parsley, the garlic, chilli and ginger and fry for a few minutes until slightly soft. Tip in the tomatoes and cook for another few minutes. Fold in the tuna and season the sauce generously. Leave the sauce to simmer for 10 minutes.
• Boil the pasta: Meanwhile, cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes, or as directed on the pack. Drain, then return to the pan. Pour the tuna sauce into the pasta and toss well. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley, divide between four bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a generous pinch of salt and the pasta; cook according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
• Rinse and dry the watercress; you should have at least 1 1/4 cups. Drain and discard the oil from the tuna.
• Finely grate the zest of 1/2 to 1 orange to yield 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons, letting it fall into a large serving bowl. Cut that orange and the other(s) in half; squeeze them to yield 3/4 cup of juice; add 1/2 cup to the bowl, along with the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and crushed red pepper flakes, whisking to combine.
• Add the watercress and the drained pasta, tossing to combine and coat evenly. Taste, and add some or all of the remaining orange juice, as needed; if the orange flavor is too prominent, use some of the reserved pasta cooking water to dilute the sauce.
• Scatter the drained tuna over the pasta. Sprinkle with a small pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve right away.
