With 1 small can of Sardines, you can create a variety of dishes. I tend to use Soy Sauce to season canned Sardines, but I didn’t use Soy Sauce for this one. It’s a Tomato flavoured Spaghetti dish, almost identical to my Puttanesca dishes. Please use a can of Sardines in Olive Oil, so you won’t waste anything. This is a quick and easy recipe for 1 serving. Olives and Capers are optional, but I highly recommend to add them.
