Spicy Sardine Linguine

Rather than drain away the flavorful oil packed with the sardines, we stir it into the pasta along with the fish. Look for brands with the blue Marine Stewardship Council logo. Buying sardines with this certification ensures they're sourced from fisheries that keep fish populations and environmental impact in mind.

  • Meanwhile, drain sardines, reserving the oil. Halve the sardines lengthwise.

  • Add olive oil to the pot and heat over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cherry peppers and the sardines and their oil; cook for 1 minute. Return the pasta to the pot, along with the reserved pasta water. Cook, tossing, until the water is mostly absorbed, about 1 minute. Add parsley and toss to combine.
