Preparation
Step 1
Boil the pasta according to the pack instructions.
Step 2
Meanwhile heat the oil in a pan and add the onion, garlic and chilli, fry this for about 5 minutes until the flavours have infused. Roughly chop the sardines and add them to the pan along with the capers, chopped tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, sugar and salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the pasta is done.
Step 3
Drain the pasta (reserving a little of the water). Add the pasta to the sauce, mix well ensuring that all of the pasta is coated. If the sauce is a little thick use some of the starchy water to loosen it.
