Bring the water and half the salt to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving a small splash of the cooking water.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking until the garlic is fragrant and softened, about 1 minute.
Add the drained tuna to the skillet and break it into large flakes. Stir in the cooked pasta, lemon juice, lemon zest, the remaining salt, and the reserved pasta water. Toss over the heat for 1 minute until the sauce coats the noodles. Stir in the parsley and serve.
