Ingredients

1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1/2 cups flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Coarse salt and coarse black pepper
2 tins sardines, 4 ounces each, drained, boned and chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound linguini, fresh or dried, your choice, cooked to al dente in salted water

Directions

To a large skillet preheated over medium heat, add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 4 turns of the pan, and chopped garlic. When the garlic speaks by sizzling in oil add bread crumbs. Stir bread crumbs until deeply golden in color. Add parsley and a liberal amount of salt and pepper, about 1 teaspoon of each. Transfer bread crumbs to a dish and reserve.

Return skillet to heat and add 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan. Add sardines and red pepper flakes to the pan and saute over medium heat 2 or 3 minutes. Add hot, cooked pasta to the skillet and toss with sardines. Add bread crumbs to the pot and toss thoroughly to combine and evenly distribute the mixture. Taste, to adjust seasonings, and serve.

Desert Sand. This was terrible. I followed the instructions exactly, and am so glad I was testing this only on myself. I... had a small portion b/c I was hungry, but the remainder went down the disposal. Yuck.Read more

Absolutely Delicious!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is my first RR recipe and with a little tweaking it turned out to be a wonderful family meal. I took the advice of some... previous posters and reserved 1 cup of the pasta broth and a couple tablespoons of Evoo to toss the pasta with the sardines. I too would recommend using coarse bread crumbs (not the superfine), I used homemade with some red onions. On my next venture with this recipe I will definitely use the sardines that are packed in olive oil or perhaps try tuna fish and add slightly more red pepper flakes. A nice final touch is to serve this with fresh grated parmesan, asiago or romano cheese and warm bread. Budget-friendly and delicious, what more can you ask for??Read more

Tasty, but very very filling
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was very good, I thought. I followed the advice of some of the other reviewers and used about half the breadcrumbs,... because I was using store bought ones. I made sure to use a bit extra olive oil, and it turned out well. For the sardine part, I added some just cooked cauliflower along with the sardines, and it really gave the sauce more heft, and I think kept it from getting too dry too. Verdict: Really liked the flavor, but I could hardly eat any of it because it was just so filling. The combination of breadcrumbs and pasta is too carb heavy I think.Read more

Easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The best thing about this recipe is it's change from the cheesy and tomatoey recipes. I found the sardine pasta a refreshing... change of pace. I liked all the flavors in this recipe, the garlic, olive oil, red pepper, sardines, parsley, and pepper. Make the sardine pasta and a yummy veggie side dish, (I suggest beets and cucumbers in red wine vinegar, s&p, or salad and you have delicious meal. I'll be making it again and again.Read more
