Just call me Sardina

Some real tasty morsels!
(creativity is sometimes motivated by hunger and scrounging what's left in the cupboards)

Linguine with Sardines

Linguine noodles
1 tin sardines in olive oil
parsley, fresh
small onion
few cloves garlic
some white wine
butter
bread crumbs (find 2 old pieces of bread, and toast)
Saute onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil til translucent, (oh if you had a lemon, a squish of juice would be nice here) and add the sardines with their oil, and break up and stir. add a bit of white wine. Remove from heat. Stir in some fresh chopped parsley.
Meanwhile cook the linguine al dente.
toast the old bread and pulse in food processor with some butter (about a tblsp) and some more parsley, til crumby.
When pasta is ready, add a bit of the pasta water to your sardine mixture. Then, drain the linguine and toss with the sardines. Top with the buttered parsley bread crumbs and serve.

soooo delish. I like this even better than linguine with clam sauce, i must say. Tommy topped with fresh parmy, but i stuck to the italian guns and used no cheese.
