Simple Sardine Pasta
Method:
Pick the herbs from the stems and chop finely and put in a small bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cover with olive oil. Chop the garlic, zest the lemon and add to the bowl too. Give it a stir with a spoon and set aside. Chop tomatoes in half and set aside. Cook the pasta in a pot of salty water then drain, put the pasta in a bowl and toss through the bowl of herbs with the oil and the tomatoes. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the pasta if you want, but I like it with just the zest. Break up the sardines gently with a fork and toss them through the pasta. Generously season with salt and pepper and serve while its hot.
