After resting the dough, spread it with a rolling pin on a table top coated with oil and make the shape you want using a cookie cutter or make squares with a knife. Cook the pastels in a very hot oil until a golden color is obtained.

Tomato sauce:

Put the oil in a pan and add the onions and the cloves of garlic, cut into squares. Add the spices, chopped parsley, and cook for a few minutes. Then add the tuna, the diced tomatoes and a tablespoon of tomato puree. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
