Recipe: Mediterranean Tomato Sauce with Sardines



this is my favourite pasta sauce ever! you can skip the sardines if you don't like them, but i love it!
i eat this for lunch, as i try to avoid carbs in the evening. for dinner you could just skip the pasta and double the veggies, tastes great as well!

ok, let's get started:

what you'll need for 4-5 servings:


  • 1 large or 2 medium onions
  • 3 medium garlic clove
  • 1 large zucchini
  • 1 red bell pepper (paprika)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (paprika)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • about 30-40g sardines from a jar (half a jar)
  • some oil 
  • some dried italian herbs (oregano, thyme, ect)
  • bell pepper (paprika) powder
  • pepper
  • salt (for the sauce just if you skip the sardines)
  • fresh basil
  • 250g whole grain pasta (i used organic penne)


what to do:

cut onions and garlic into small pieces and fry in oil for about 3 minutes.
cut zucchini and bell peppers into pieces and stew with onions and garlic for about 10 minutes.
add diced tomatoes and sardines und let it cook for about 15-20 minutes. season with italian herbs, bell pepper powder and pepper. (no salt! the sardines are VERY salty).
cook pasta in salted water for about 8-10 minutes. 
serve with lots of fresh basil and some grated parmesan if you want to. 


whats your favourite pasta sauce? do you like sardines? i love them, but do understand why some hate them^^
