Ingredients
  • 8 oz fettuccine
  • 3.75 oz can Spanish sardine fillets in oil (or regular sardine fillets in oil)
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 oz grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 oz black olives, sliced
  • 2 oz green olives with pimiento, sliced
  • 2 tsp capers
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 c reserved pasta water
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Parsley for garnish
Instructions

Start by cooking the pasta as usual. Just before you drain it, reserve 1/2 c of the pasta water and set aside.

While the fettuccine is cooking, heat olive oil in a pan over low heat.

Add onion and cook for 3 minutes or until it just starts to soften.

Then, add garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Add tomatoes, olives, capers, lemon juice, pepper flakes, and sardines (including the oil) and cook for 4 minutes. When adding the sardines, lightly break up the fillets with a fork.

Next, add reserved pasta water and freshly ground black pepper to taste and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Finally, add cooked fettuccine to the pan and toss in the sauce.

Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and parsley, and serve with a nice crusty bread. Enjoy!
