Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil1/2 cup bread crumbs1 onion, chopped1 lb long pasta1 tsp grated lemon zest2 T drained capers2 cans sardines in oil1/2 c chopped parsley
Directions
Bring large pot of water to boil and salt it. Put half the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. When it's hot, add bread crumbs and cook, stirring frequently,until golden and fragrant, less than 5 minutes, then remove. Add remaining oil and onion to pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, add pasta to boiling water and cook until just tender; drain, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Turn the heat under the onions to medium high and add lemon zest, capers and sardines; cook, stirring occasionally, until just heated through, about 2 minutes.
Add pasta to sardine mixture and toss well. Add parsley, most of the brad crumbs and some reserved water, if necessary, to moisten. Taste and adjust seasoning, garnishing with more parsley and bread crumbs. Makes 6 servings

     I was about to post a very similar recipe, then saw that HANELAINE beat me to it! I cut the lemon zest into strips, fry it with the capers until crisp & fragrant. Remove from the pan & proceed to sautee 3 cloves minced garlic. Finish with long strips of carrot for crunch. A flavor explosion! - 4/11/11

     Although we eat sardines because they are a nutritious food I would never have thought of putting them with pasta. An enjoyable surprise. - 7/12/20

     I used veggie broth instead of wine and it was wonderful! So-o-o much better than just eating sardines out of the can! - 8/20/11

     Fast, tasty, and inexpensive! Excellent recipe. I usually add garlic and sometimes a few shakes of hot pepper flakes and/or multi-colored bell pepper slices. Nice for using up leftover pasta, too. I generally use less pasta than quoted. - 7/25/11
