How to prepare Pasta with sardines, cherry tomatoes and breadcrumbs
To prepare the pasta with sardines, cherry tomatoes and breadcrumbs, start by browning a clove of garlic in 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil 1. Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs to the pan 2 and toast them gently 3; this will take about 3 minutes. Then transfer them to a small bowl.
Finely chop the parsley 4 and add it to the toasted breadcrumbs in the bowl 5. Clean the sardines by removing the head, the fin and the dorsal bone. Open them "a libro" (butterfly them), rinsing them well under running water 6.
Cut the sardines into 1-centimetre pieces (about 3/8 inch) 7 and cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters 8. Drop the spaghetti into a pot full of boiling salted water 9.
In a pan pour the remaining 1 tbsp of oil, a clove of garlic and the desalinated anchovies 10. After letting the anchovies melt over low heat, which will take about 3 minutes, add the sardines 11 and the cherry tomatoes 12 to the pan.
Stir well 12. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. In the meantime, desalinate the capers and roughly chop them 13. After the 5 minutes, add them to the sauce 14.
Adjust the salt if necessary 16. Drain the spaghetti al dente, add them to the pan 17 and toss briefly 18.
Plate the pasta, sprinkle a tablespoon of toasted breadcrumbs on top 19 and a pinch of chili powder 20. Your pasta with sardines, cherry tomatoes and breadcrumbs is ready to be served 21!
