Ingredients

Servings 2
  • 2 tin Sardines (tinned)
  • 180 g Lupin pasta
  • 400 g Canned tomatoes
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 3 tbsp Parsley (optional)
  • ½ Lemon (optional)

Method

  1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
  2. While the water heats, slice the garlic.
  3. Cook the lupin pasta 5 minutes — one minute shy of the pack's 6. It softens fast, so drain it early rather than late.
  4. Reserve a mugful of pasta water, then drain.
  5. Soften the garlic and chili flakes in the oil over medium heat for 1 minute.
  6. Add the tomatoes and simmer until thickened, about 8 minutes, then flake in the drained sardines.
  7. Toss the lupin pasta through the sauce, loosening with pasta water until it coats.
  8. Squeeze the lemon over, scatter the parsley, and serve.
