Sardine Pasta

February 9, 2012 By Delia

Sardine pasta is a quick and easy dish you can prepare in minutes. For this recipe we used Spanish sardines in tomato sauce, but you may also try Spanish sardines in olive oil. Both of which can be bought in most supermarkets.

 

Serves 4

Ingredients:

200g fusilli pasta

1 bottle Spanish sardines in tomato sauce

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

1 green bell pepper, cut into strips

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium sized white onion, chopped

3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Juice of half a lemon

A handful of parsley, chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

Cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions or until al dente. Drain completely and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Heat one fourth of the oil in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat.  Sauté the garlic and onions for two to three minutes or until the garlic is lightly browned and the onions are translucent. Add the bell peppers and cook it for five minutes or until the bell peppers are soft. Add the sardines in the pan. Break the sardines in pieces. Season it with salt and pepper. Mix well.

Add the sardine mixture to the pasta along with the oil and the lemon juice. Toss until well combined. Add more salt and pepper of desired. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Sardine Pasta

May 31, 2011 By Delia

I prepare this dish whenever I want a quick meal. More often than not we have the ingredients handy in our cupboards. I prefer using Spanish sardines in olive oil, but sardines in tomato sauce will do just fine.

 

Serves 4

Ingredients:

8oz. spaghetti noodles

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 lemon, juiced

1 4oz. can sardines in tomato sauce

1 cup tomato sauce

1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

 

Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook it according to package instructions or until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan under medium heat. Sauté the onions until they become translucent. After, fry the garlic and cook it for 2 minutes or until golden brown.  Add the sardines and the sauce and the tomato sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer it for 3-5 minutes or until the pasta is ready.

Combine the pasta and the sardine sauce. Mix well and turn off the heat. Let it stand for 5 minutes. After, squeeze the lemon juice over the pasta. Transfer the pasta to a serving plate or individual plates. Sprinkle the pasta with red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese before serving. Serve warm.
