Whoβs been seeing a lot of sardines lately? π Itβs trending and what better way to explore than this Octoberβs National Pasta & Seafood Month?!
This cozy lemon sardine pasta is an easy, delicious way to work toward eating the recommended seafood twice a week.
οΏ½Serves 4
Ingredients
β’ 12 oz pasta of choice
β’ 2 cans sardines in lemon olive oil (4-5 oz each)
β’ 2 tbsp olive oil
β’ 2 tbsp butter, melted
β’ Juice of 5-6 lemons
β’ 4 cloves garlic, finely diced
β’ 1 tsp dried oregano
β’ 2 tbsp capers, drained
β’ 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
β’ Optional garnish: 1 tbsp dried parsley or 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve Β½ cup pasta water before draining.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil, butter, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and stir to combine.
3. Add the sardines along with a little of the lemon oil from the can. Break the sardines apart with a spoon and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
4. Stir in the capers and continue simmering for 1-2 minutes.
5. Add the cooked pasta and toss until evenly coated. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to help the sauce cling to the pasta.
6. Finish with Parmesan and parsley. Serve with extra Parmesan and fresh lemon wedges, if desired.
