Pasta with sardines and breadcrumbs (photo: Alon Mesika)

The sardines sometimes don't get the appreciation they deserve.

Unlike the tuna that stars in many dishes, salads, sandwiches and even baked goods or the anchovies that season sauces like Caesar sauce or Putanska sauce just like a spice (even in a sauce for chickpeas as in the recipe here by Yogev Yeros), sardines are often pushed to the corner.

The potential inherent in them is not realized.

This time you will discover how at Eaz Telam, canned sardines that can be bought at any grocery store are easily turned into a delicacy.

Together with hot chili pepper and lemon, they are used as a rich sauce for pasta, which he serves with brown and crispy breadcrumbs.

A light and tasty meal made from simple ingredients that are available in every home.

  Bring to a boil and cook over a high flame for a minute.
