One Pot Lemon Sardine Pasta

Recipe by @_joytothefood_

This One Pot Sardine Pasta proves that nutritious doesn't have to mean complicated. By transforming Wild Planet sardines into crispy, golden breadcrumbs, this recipe elevates the humble tinned fish into something that even skeptical toddlers will ask for seconds of. The magic happens in a single skillet where pasta absorbs rich bone broth alongside cherry tomatoes and garlic, creating a restaurant-worthy dish with minimal cleanup. The finishing touch of lemony sardine breadcrumbs adds both crunch and a boost of omega-3s that makes this comfort food genuinely nourishing.
