Ingredients:

12 oz spaghetti

2 x 120g cans of sardines in olive oil, drained

1/4 cup of olive oil

4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1 pint of cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking liquid.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they burst and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the sardines and parsley and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add some of the reserved pasta cooking liquid to loosen it up.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
