Tips for perfect Spanish Sardines Pasta:
- Choose your Spanish Sardines cautiously: Sardines can come in various quality levels. When testing this recipe, I gave several a shot and discovered that, in general, you do get what you paid for. Therefore, I suggest the Victorias Spanish Sardines brand.
- Cook the pasta first: Spanish sardines pasta is one of the quickest pasta dishes. Put the pasta on first, and it will be done by the time you have prepped and cooked the other ingredients.
- Remember to reserve some pasta water: It's great to have a few tablespoons of the starchy and salty pasta sauce to hand in case additional moisture is required to finish the dish.
This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner and is packed with flavor and nutrition. The sardines provide protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals, while the pasta and vegetables add carbohydrates and fiber.
