Sardine, tomato & chilli pasta

Sardine, tomato & chilli pasta Cook spaghettini in boiling salted water according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving ¼ cup cooking water.

Heat oil in the same pan on medium. Cook garlic and chilli for a minute. Add tomatoes and cook for another minute, until just tender. Add sardines and spaghettini and toss to heat through with reserved cooking water. Season and serve.

Cook's tip If you find the taste of sardines too fishy, cut through the flavour with a squeeze of lemon.
