1. Boil salted water for pasta. Cook shells until al dente and drain.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, add garlic cloves and cook until fragrant.
3. Add plum tomatoes and simmer several minutes.
4. Add canned tuna and stir it all up until the tuna has gotten all shreddy and combined.
5. Simmer for about 15 minutes, until the sauce is reduced by a third.
6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Add shells to sauce pan and combine thoroughly.
