  • Ingredients

    • Sardines, 2 cans of good quality ones
    • Tomatoes, 10 cherry 
    • Basil, 1 bunch 
    • Mint, 1 bunch 
    • Parsley, 1 bunch 
    • Chives, 1 bunch 
    • Spring onion, 2 
    • Golden Groves Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1/2 cup 
    • Garlic, 2 cloves 
    • Lemon zest, of 1 
    • Lemon, of 1
    • Pasta, 500g dried fettuccine 
    • Salt and pepper to paste 
  • Method

    1. 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. 
    2. Chop the garlic, zest the lemon and add to the bowl too. 
    3. Give it a stir with a spoon and set aside. 
    4. Chop tomatoes in half and set aside. 
    5. Cook the pasta in a pot of salty water then drain.
    6. Put the pasta in a bowl and toss through the bowl of herbs with olive oil and the tomatoes. 
    7. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the pasta if you want, but I like it with just the zest. 
    8. Break up the sardines gently with a fork and toss them through the pasta. Generously season with salt and pepper and serve whilst it's hot.
