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'm always looking for recipes that are both healthy and delicious, and this one definitely fits the bill! The sardines are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, and the vegetables add a boost of vitamins and minerals.

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.
