Preparation:

Preparation: Remove the head from the anchovies, clean them, open them in two by removing the central bone, then rinse them in running water and brown them in a little oil for 10 minutes. Drain them from the cooking liquid and pour a little more oil into the same pan and let the thinly sliced onion brown. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Leave to cook for about 15 minutes then add the chopped parsley and basil, the chopped tuna and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. Boil the macaroni in salted water, drain them al dente and dress them with the tuna sauce. Put half of the seasoned pasta in a baking dish, distribute the anchovies over it, cover with the remaining pasta and bake at 200 degrees for 5 minutes.
