  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3.75 oz. can boneless skinless sardines in oil
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion sliced
  • 2 tsp. tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Saute the minced garlic, sliced onions, tomato paste, paprika and red pepper flakes until the onions are softened.
  • Pour in the crushed tomatoes.
  • Nestle the sardines in the sauce. Break them up a little or leave them whole.
