Pasta Con Sarde

 

This recipe is quick and easy to make, thanks to a recipe passed down from family.

 

Ingredients

1 (16 ounces) package spaghetti

¾ cup olive oil, divided

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 (4 ounces) cans of 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 topping

 

A big saucepan of lightly salted water should be brought to a boil. Cook until the pasta is al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Rinse with cold water after draining. Cover and keep heated after tossing with 1/4 cup olive oil. In a pan, heat another 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the garlic is golden. Cook for 1 minute more after adding the sardines. Combine the bread crumbs and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese in a mixing bowl. Mix in the leftover 1/4 cup olive oil if needed to make the mixture crumbly. Remove from the fire and mix in the parsley and pepper. Serve with more Parmesan cheese if desired.
