Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
¾ cup olive oil, divided
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 (4 ounce) cans sardines packed in olive oil, drained
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch additional Parmesan cheese for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti, and cook until al dente, or 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1/4 cup olive oil, cover and keep warm.
  • Place another 1/4 cup olive oil in a skillet, and heat over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook just until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sardines, and cook 1 minute more.

Stir in the parsley and pepper, and remove from the heat. If desired, serve with additional Parmesan cheese.

PENNE CON LA SARDINE (BAKED PASTA AND SARDINES)



Penne Con La Sardine (Baked Pasta and Sardines) image

Pasta and sardines baked in the oven are wonderful. The salty flavours of the sardines go so well together with the pasta, feta cheese and that bit of cream. Rich and full of flavours. For this recipe you can use sardines fillets, but you can also use whole fish. Sometimes, when I'm too lazy, I use the whole fish for this recipe and serve it that way. Every guest can take as many as he wants. And it is a lot of fun. Brings back memories of Italia, sitting in one of those little fish restaurants and enjoying fresh fish. For this recipe you should always use fresh fish. Serve it with some bread and a glass of a dry white white wine.
