Spaghetti with Shrimp and Sardines
Been meaning to make this for few weeks now but got sidetracked .
Like making ice cream and cookies , perhaps ?! lol
Bought two canned sardines just for this dish but you know how it is ......
Opening a can if you're too lazy to cook something for yourself .
That's the purpose of canned goods , right ? heh !
Good thing I stopped her laziness or another steamed sardines with rice , again !
Who wants to see photos of steamed sardines over rice , anyway ?! ^-^''

ReplyDeletewhat an interesting recipe! i confess i don't know my way around sardines at ALL, and i know they're supposed to be so good! and healthy too. i will have to try this out and get going with them.
ReplyDeletei havent had sardines in my pasta but i must tell you that your dish looks very appealing to me, nice food plating too!
ReplyDeleteHoly Yum! You just combined all my favorite things! Beancurd sheets are truly wonderful, which I explored after I settled here in HK. I am in trouble because I MUST make these now. Thanks for this fantastic idea!
