Healthy Lemon Parmesan Sardine Pasta | Chicken of the Sea

Step 1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add some salt. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until just tender. Drain and reserve some of the cooking liquid. Step 2 Bring another skillet to medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet. Step 3 When the oil is hot, add in the Panko and stir frequently until golden and fragrant (3-4 minutes). Remove to a plate. Step 4 Add the last 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan and add the chopped onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir until softened. Step 5 Turn the heat on the onions to medium high and add in the zest of 1 lemon, juice of 1 lemon, capers, and thoroughly drained sardines. Step 6 Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Step 7 Add the drained pasta to the sardine mixture and toss well to combine. Add ½ cup chopped parsley and some of the reserved pasta cooking water (if needed) to moisten. Stir in the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Step 8 Garnish individual plates with a wedge of lemon and more parsley if desired.
