Sicilian sardine spaghetti
Oily fish is where it’s at when it comes to getting in your omega-3s, so here's a fantastic sardine pasta dish to add to your mid-week post-session repertoire…
To get your fill of healthy-fat omega-3s, mackerel, kippers, salmon, herring, fresh crab, sardines… are all great!
Extremely well-balanced and flavoursome, I’d recommend adding this nutritious and delicious Sicilian sardine spaghetti dish to your weekday post-training repertoire, especially if you’re trying to eat healthily on a budget.
Boost your omegas!
Already high in omega 3’s, you can boost this dish even further with a few simple swaps:
1. Swap out the pine nuts for omega 3-rich walnuts – keep the skins on, as the skin packs most of walnuts’ phenol antioxidants
2. Toast a handful of hemp, flax and pumpkin seeds and sprinkle over with the Parmesan
3. Swap the sardines for tinned or fresh mackerel which is even more loaded with omega 3’s.
