Ingredients

  • Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Spaghetti: 400g spaghetti
  • Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Chopped Tomato: 227g can chopped tomato
  • Parsley: small handful parsley, chopped
  • Chilli Flakes: pinch chilli flakes
  • Black Olive: 100g pitted black olives, roughly chopped
  • Caper: 1 tbsp capers, drained
  • Sardine: 2 x 95g cans skinless and boneless sardines in tomato sauce

Directions

  1. Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling salted water according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat the oil in a medium pan and cook the garlic for 1 min. Add the chilli flakes, tomatoes and sardines, breaking up roughly with a wooden spoon. Heat for 2-3 mins, then stir in the olives, capers and most of the parsley. Mix well to combine.
  2. Drain the pasta, reserving a couple of tbsp of the water. Add the pasta to the sauce and mix well, adding the reserved water if the sauce is a little thick. Divide between 4 bowls and sprinkle with the remaining parsley.
