100g pitted black olives, roughly chopped
1 tbsp capers, drained
small handful parsley, chopped

Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling salted water according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat the oil in a medium pan and cook the garlic for 1 min. Add the chilli flakes, tomatoes and sardines, breaking up roughly with a wooden spoon. Heat for 2-3 mins, then stir in the olives, capers and most of the parsley. Mix well to combine.

TIP
Using skinless
and boneless
sardines in this
dish make a great
sustainable
alternative to
anchovies – they’re
also cheaper and
a great source of
omega-3.
