"I know canned fish is not particularly popular. I beg to differ: canned fish is a great, inexpensive and longer-lasting alternative to fresh fish. It accompanies so many different dishes perfectly, and that's why I've made it my mission to try as many varieties and introduce tasty recipes to you! For this pasta dish, I've used sardines–a great choice for those who haven't tried cooking with canned fish before. The crispy garlicky breadcrumbs are a great addition to the pasta and also add some texture to the dish."
