Dr. Rosati's Pasta con Sarde
We were all in for a real treat when Dr. Rosati threw on an apron and hosted his own Italian cooking class at the Rice Diet Program! Here's an easy dish that you can make at home on a busy week night, or even for a weekend dinner party that will really impress your friends.
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp, plus 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1 cup bread crumbs, not seasoned
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Coarsely ground black pepper
2 tins sardines, 4 oz each, drained/boned/chopped (no salt added)
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound linguini, fresh or dried, cooked to al dente
Preparation:
Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat in a sauté pan large enough for bread crumbs. Add bread crumbs and stir until they begin to color. Add garlic, stirring for about 1 minute. Add pepper and remove from heat.
When pasta is ready, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add sardines and red pepper flakes to the pan and sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add hot, cooked pasta to the skillet and toss with sardines. Add bread crumbs to the pan and toss with parsley. Taste, to adjust seasoning, and serve.
