Ingredients

  • 1 pound thin spaghetti
  • 1 head garlic cut into large chunks
  • 1/2 pound sun dried tomatoes in olive oil
  • 8 calamata olives pitted
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 3 3/4 ounces sardines in olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper chopped fresh
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 sprigs basil
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs toasted

Directions

  2. 2
    Add the Sun Dried tomatoes, calamata olives, capers, sardines (without the oil) and fresh hot pepper. Cook for 2 minutes or until oil in the pan turns red.
  3. 3
    Pour the whole mixture into a food processor and blend lightly (about 5 seconds); you want to see small chunks, not a paste.
  4. 4
    Return the mixture to the saute pan without applying heat, add the garlic and the remainder of the olive oil, and with a spoon blend ingredients together.
  5. 5
    Prepare spaghetti as directed on box. When ready, take a cup of the liquid in which the spaghetti where cooked in, and set aside. Drain the rest of the water.
  6. 6
    Spoon spaghetti over the sauce add the basil and on a medium flame work the spaghetti and sauce together until completely blended. If the spaghetti are too dry add the reserved liquid in which you cooked the spaghetti a little at a time, and as needed.
