Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.

  2. 2

    While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Drain the sardines (discarding the tin oil) and add them to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break them apart into small pieces.

  4. 4

    Stir in the garlic powder (or fresh garlic) and red pepper flakes, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Before draining the pasta, carefully scoop out 1/4 cup of the starchy pasta water. Drain the pasta and add it directly to the skillet.

  6. 6

    Pour the reserved pasta water into the skillet. Toss everything continuously over low heat for 1-2 minutes until a glossy sauce coats the pasta. Serve hot.
