Sicilian-Style Sardine Pasta With Breadcrumbs image

Recipe courtesy of Rachel Ray.It took me awhile to repeat preparing this dish - am I sorry it took so long! Very easy and tastes great too! Update: July 10,2008: according to a poster lemon-pepper adds that extra kick to the recipe, as well as adding some olive oil to the pasta (she prefers angel-hair) as well as the pasta water, and then finish with some grated or shredded asiago. Just made it with these changes and it turned out beautifully!!!

I didn't have any pine nuts on hand, so I used chopped walnuts instead. They worked just as well and added a nice nutty flavor to the dish.

I used whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta, and it turned out great! The dish was still light and flavorful, but it had a bit more fiber.

I'm a big fan of spicy food, so I added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. It gave the dish a nice kick without overpowering the other flavors.
