Ciao a tutti.

I see this recipe on Saturday Kitchen I think last week. I feel meats may get difficult find. Link below.

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large pan over a low heat and gently fry the celery, onion and carrot for 10 minutes. Dust with the flour and cook for another 5 minutes.
2. Add the sardines, garlic, bay, soy and Worcestershire sauce and stir well. Add the red wine and cook reduce until most of the liquid has gone. Add the passata or chopped tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, whisking vigorously.

5. When cooked, mix the spaghetti through the sauce and serve scattered with plenty of Parmesan.

I have all the ingredients. But I rarely follow recipes. I may well play with this one and add some spice. In fact I'd already been thinking about a sardine pasta dish.

Add the passata or chopped tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, whisking vigorously.

So we are talking about a sort of sardine puree? This is worrying me slightly for some reason. I didn't see the programme and there are no photos attached to the recipe on the website. I have 'Saturday Kitchen Live' on 'catch up' and was going to watch it this week. Was it last Saturday's episode?

Well, maybe the recipe isn't written up correctly. But if you read the above, it requires adding the sardines etc. to the pan and then adding the passata and whisking vigorously. That is most certainly going to break up the soft sardines into fragments if not turn it into a mush.

I'll endeavour to watch the show tonight.

You reminded me - yes the sardines were mushed up in the sauce. I think I'd have kept them in chunkier pieces if I made it.
