This is NOT an Italian dish, this is a sort of fusion, ‘Japanised’ spaghetti, with sardines and spring onion, and soy sauce butter flavor, invented by a famous Japanese Italian chef. If you have canned sardines at home, please try, it is surprisingly delicious!
Ingredients (for 2)
2 cans of sardines
1 bunch of spring onion, all chopped
1 clove of garlic, sliced
200g of Spaghetti *original recipe says 160g for two, but it was never enough for us, so we do 200g for two.
1 tablespoon of butter
2 teaspoons of soy sauce *original recipe says 1+1/2 teaspoons but I increased to 2 teaspoons in accordance with the increase of spaghetti.
Salt and pepper
Instruction
1. Remove oil from canned sardines.
2. In a large fry pan, melt butter and cook garlic with the low heat. Turn up to medium heat, and cook sardines. Sardines should be in pieces. Cook to make them a little crispy, then add soy sauce.
3. Cook spaghetti.
4. Add spaghetti into the fry pan with sardines. Cook with high heat and mix spaghetti and the sauce.
5. Add salt and pepper.
6. Serve on a plate and sprinkle a lot of chopped spring onion.
