#288 pasta with sardines

1 can sardines in oil
1/4 of an onion (diced)
4 large garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
salt/pepper
olive oil

1/2 lb linguine pasta

Cook pasta, meanwhile, saute onion in 3 tbsp olive oil 3-4 mins, add garlic and cook until garlic begins to golden ~2-4 mins. Add bread crumbs and stir, add more olive oil if needed, to make it crumbly (no excess oil in bottom) and cook until mixture is golden brown. Put in a separate bowl and put aside. Add 1 tbsp oil to pan and add sardines, salt/pepper and red pepper flakes. Saute, breaking up the sardines, 3-4 mins. Drain pasta, mix sardines with pasta then mix in the breadcrumb mixture.

This was delicious!! Not fishy at all.
