Instructions

  1. Cook 140 g Spaghetti according to the packet instructions - normally 10-12 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoon Olive oil in a pan and cook 2 Shallots until softened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add 3 Garlic clove and 1 teaspoon Chilli flakes. Stir and cook for a further minutes.
  4. About 2 minutes before the spaghetti is cooked, add 80 g Spinach to the water.
  5. Add 160 g Sardines, juice and zest of 1 Lemon, 7 g Fresh parsley, 50 g Sun-dried tomatoes and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper to the shallots. Gently stir to avoid breaking up the sardines too much.
  6. Drain the spaghetti and spinach, reserving a small amount of pasta water.
  7. Add the drained spaghetti, spinach and reserved water to the sardine mix. Mix well and serve.

Notes

  • To make this even quicker, use some fresh tagliatelle which is ready in a few minutes.
  • Don't forget to reserve some of the pasta water. You really don't want to skip this step, as it makes the sauce so silky.
  • Add a splash of olive oil to the pan before serving for an extra boost of flavour.
  • Serve with extra Parmesan and cracked black pepper if you like.
