Title: Spaghetti w/Sardines, Dill & Fried Capers
Categories: Pasta, Seafood, Breads, Herbs
Yield: 6 Servings

1 lb Spaghetti
1/3 c Olive oil
1/4 c Drained capers; patted dry
2 c Coarse fresh bread crumbs
- from a baguette
1/2 c Chopped dill
9 3/4 (3 cans) sardines in olive
- oil
4 cl Garlic

Cook spaghetti in a pasta pot of well salted boiling water
until al dente.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12" heavy skillet over medium
heat until it shimmers. Fry capers until they "bloom" and
are just a shade darker, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a
slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Toast bread crumbs
in same skillet, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl and toss with capers, dill, and 1/4
teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

Add sardines to skillet with their oil (if using 3 cans
sardines, discard oil from 1 can) over medium-high heat,
then force garlic through a garlic press into skillet.
Sauté until sardines are golden in spots around edges,
about 2 minutes.

Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta. Add
pasta to skillet with cooking water and 1/2 teaspoon each
of salt and pepper. Toss until pasta is coated and sauce
is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve topped with
seasoned crumbs.
