Kitchen therapy

\n\nAs promised:\n\n1 tin of sardines, packed in water, crumbled\n2 oz capers\n4 cloves minced garlic\nchopped parsley\nwhite truffle olive oil\nsalt & pepper to taste\n3 servings of pasta (I used spaghetti)\n\nQuick, and tasty, despite my ham-handed kitchen technique. I think I'd have preferred a wetter sauce, both to suspend the capers (which tended to fall to the bottom of the dish & are essential to the flavor, I think) and to help with the texture, which was a bit dry. So next time, a little more oil (though probably not all truffle), and maybe some grated parmesan or romano. Also, tinned sardines crumble really easily -- originally I sauteed the garlic, sardines, parsley and capers at the beginning but I think I'd reserve half the sardines in larger pieces to garnish the pasta once served, to get a more solid fish texture into the dish.\n\nSo it wasn't perfect, but! Everyone posts perfect recipes -- I thought I'd post a work in progress. After all, it was yummy, and therapeutic! the best kind of dinner. :)\n\n(also, thanks for all your kind comments, as always -- love to you all.)
