Sardines, Anchovis and Capers Spaghetti

A short time to prepare a plate of food and no time to go grocery shopping. Cupboard ingredients and two jars out of the fridge and just a tiny bit fresh stuff.
A while ago I bought some small cans of sardines. The one I opened today was with lemon and basil in oil. To intensify the flavour a couple of anchovis.


The only problem about this dish comes later after you have enjoyed your food. You will need a lot of water to counteract the salty taste of the fish.
I use some 3 minutes rapid spaghetti in the moment, chuck them  into heavily salted water and after 4 minutes they are done the way I like them. That means you have to prepare the mis en place before you start the pasta water.
This dish is on the table in 10 minutes.

recipe:
120 g fast cooking pasta
1 can sardines in lemon and basil oil or any other flavour
3 anchovis filets - washed
1 tbsp capers-that salt washed off
spring onions
garlic
extra vergine olive oil
pepper

Cook the pasta.
In some oil start to soften the garlic and onion, add the rest and cook until tender.
Add some pasta water and then the drained pasta.
Finish with pepper and a good drizzle of olive oil
