Lemon-Garlic Sardine Fettuccine

SOOO yummy (with modifications). I used regular sardines packed in water (didn't add the water.) Added the recommended 2 tbsp tomato paste. Did NOT use cheese at all, and used 1/2 cup whole wheat panko and it worked out just fine, but I'll prob omit all together next time. There is way too much added calories and oil as written, but you can modify this. I added some pasta water to the oil/lemon mix in the bowl to allow it to coat the noodles better with no added oil. The overall flavor was AMAZING and not "fishy" at all. I'd use tuna or salmon in this recipe as well next time. Thanks for the base/starter recipe for me to play with!

I used sardines in tomato sauce, yes...skin, bones and all as I am a sardine lover and it was yummy. I also used more garlic as I am a garlic fanatic!! Have made this a few times and adjusted the recipe for cooking for two!

My family could not get past the sardine smell. It was not edible.

Fast and Easy This was an easy preparation that tasted quite nice. Mine was a little tart because instead of lemon juice I had key lime juice on hand and I should have used a little less - but it was still good. I didn't feel like bothering with making my own bread crumbs so I used panko instead (browned it up just like you would the bread crumbs). I also had to use the tomato paste because I didn't have sardines in tomato sauce. Next time I will use lemon juice and someone else posted that they sauteed some tomatoes with the garlic - I like that idea a lot and will do it next time. This wasn't a one time only recipe, I'll be making this one again and I'm looking forward to it.

Made half for a quick dinner for two. Served with broccoli and beans. Surprisingly, the sardine taste was overcome by the garlic and lemon. Would adjust the flavours next time so we could taste the fish, otherwise yum. Pros: quick and easy

I am not sure how this recepie could qualify as healthy. Almost a third of your total fat intake is in this one dish, not to mention the crazy amount of Sodium. I would use the Tuna and skip the cheese..that should cut most of the fat and the sodium.
