8 steps · 25 min

01
Cook the Pasta
Cook the fettuccine according to package directions. Before draining, scoop out about 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water and set it aside; you'll use it to loosen the sauce later.
02
Heat the Oil
While the pasta cooks, warm the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over low heat.
03
Sauté the Onion
Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes, until it just starts to soften and turn translucent.
04
Add Garlic
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
05
Simmer the Sauce Base
Tip in the cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, lemon juice, and pepper flakes. Add the sardine fillets, pouring in the oil from the can as well. Use a fork to gently break up the sardines into smaller pieces.
Let everything simmer together for about 4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the tomatoes to soften slightly.
06
Finish the Sauce
Pour in the reserved pasta water and season with freshly ground black pepper. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
07
Toss with Pasta
Add the drained fettuccine directly to the pan with the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated.
08
Garnish and Serve
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley. A side of crusty bread is a good idea for soaking up any extra sauce.
