Make breadcrumbs
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add panko and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minute. Transfer to a small bowl and wipe out skillet. Zest lemon over breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. -
Boil pasta
Bring a large pot of boiling salted water to boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain spaghetti. -
Make sauce
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoon oil in the same large skillet over medium-high. Add garlic, parsley stems and ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add capers and cook until beginning to pop, about 2 minutes. Add tuna and toss to coat in oil. -
Toss pasta
Add spaghetti to skillet along with ½ cup pasta water and cook, tossing gently, until liquid is reduced and coats the pasta, about 2 minutes. Add arugula and toss until just wilted. Squeeze half of lemon over, season to taste with salt and pepper and toss to combine. -
Finish
Serve pasta drizzled with oil, topped with chopped parsley and lemon breadcrumbs. Enjoy!
