Sardine Spaghetti - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
100 g sardines in oil
1/2 onion, diced small
1 tablespoon capers
2 anchovies (from a jar, in oil)
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 dried red chili peppers, crushed
cherry tomatoes, a handful, halved
fresh flat leaf parsley, a handful, chopped
spaghetti
fresh ground black pepper
Preparation
-
Get the pasta cooking.
In another pan gently fry the chopped onion in the oil from the sardine tin - soften but don't let the onion colour.
Squish the anchovies into the pan.
Add the garlic, capers, chillis and tomatoes - stir.
Cook gently while your spaghetti finishes cooking.
Just as the spaghetti is ready, stir half a cup or so of the pasta water into the sauce, gently stir in the sardines and the parsley to warm the sardines through.
Drain the pasta and stir together.
Resist the urge to serve cheese over this.
