Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti, and cook until al dente, or 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1/4 cup olive oil, cover and keep warm.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest sardines available: Fresh sardines have a silvery, iridescent skin and clear, bright eyes. Avoid fish with dull or cloudy eyes or a slimy texture.
- Clean the sardines thoroughly: Remove the heads, tails, and fins from the sardines. Then, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the belly of each fish and remove the entrails. Rinse the sardines thoroughly under cold water.
- Marinate the sardines before cooking: Marinating the sardines in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to enhance their flavor. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to the marinade.
- Cook the sardines until they are just cooked through: Overcooked sardines will be dry and tough. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and flaky.
- Serve the sardines with your favorite sides: Sardines are delicious served with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad. You can also enjoy them as part of a sandwich or wrap.
Conclusion:
Sardines are a delicious and healthy fish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. These recipes offer a few ideas for how to prepare sardines, from a simple grilled dish to a more elaborate baked dish. No matter how you choose to cook them, sardines are sure to please your taste buds.
