Level up your canned goods this quarantine/lockdown period. Here's a recipe I created for Sardines (in Tomato sauce) and Tuna (I chose mild indian curry flavor but the regular kind is fine too).
In photo: I used regular spaghetti and whole wheat spaghetti.

Steps

1

Prepare the Base: Sauté in oil onions, garlic until fragrant. Mix in tomatoes and mushrooms. Add water and cover. Let the tomatoes juice up and get soft (for flavor).
2

Check if the tomatoes are ready. Add a bit more water if it's too dry. Sauté with spatula. Then add in your canned sardines or Tuna (including sauce). I coarsely mashed the fish pieces while in the pan.
3

Add bell peppers if desired, and a sprinkle of green onions. Season with salt or fish sauce. Taste and let simmer a few minutes. Have you boiled your pasta while sautéing? :)
4

PASTA: Boil pasta in pot according to package instructions until al denté. Don't forget to add a bit of salt and oil (in pasta water).
5

Transfer sardines/tuna to a bowl before plating with pasta. Below photo: canned sardines con pasta. Enjoy!

VARIATION: These dishes are also great with good bread, like a sliced toasted baguette, to dip or to top. :)
