Method

1

Start by placing a large pan of well salted water on to boil for the pasta.

2

In a frying pan and a generous glug of extra virgin olive oil. Add in the garlic and chili and fry gently for 5 minutes, being careful not to burn.

3

Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al-dente.

4

Once the garlic and chilli are sizzling and fragrant, squeeze in the lime juice along with the tin of sardines. Gently break with a wooden spoon and leave to gently warm whilst the pasta finishes cooking.

5

Drain the Radiatori, saving back some pasta water. Add the Radiatori to the pan with the sardine mixture.

6

Season well with salt and pepper and add a small splash of reserved pasta water.

7

Add the parsley then toss over the heat for a minute or so until everything is combined. Divide between 2 bowls and finish with a sprinkling of lime zest over the top.
