Sardines to the rescue

Apparently we didn't learn our lesson from the last outing, for we're jumping straight from one fishy pasta to another. Fortunately our aquatic friends tonight are sardines rather than anchovies, and the capers and olives are thankfully absent. A much more promising start!



I suppose the sardines wouldn't really count us as friends, would they, but we've done our best to do right by them - MSC certified tins all the way from Portugal, and very delicious they are, too.



Following on from the ease of last time, this is a very similar recipe, but it does have the added wrinkle of frying up some croutons first with a little garlic and olive oil. This is the kind of wrinkle that I'll happily accommodate.



Once the bread is nice and crispy, it's back to the old standby of frying things up and twisting them into the spaghetti.



A definite improvement on the last go-round, this one really benefits from the greasy crunch of the croutons and the milder flavour of the sardines, while the greens give it a nice touch of freshness. Super easy and no crazy ingredients means you could make this a regular standby.
