Penne Con La Sardine (Baked Pasta and Sardines) image

Pasta and sardines baked in the oven are wonderful. The salty flavours of the sardines go so well together with the pasta, feta cheese and that bit of cream. Rich and full of flavours. For this recipe you can use sardines fillets, but you can also use whole fish. Sometimes, when I'm too lazy, I use the whole fish for this recipe and serve it that way. Every guest can take as many as he wants. And it is a lot of fun. Brings back memories of Italia, sitting in one of those little fish restaurants and enjoying fresh fish. For this recipe you should always use fresh fish. Serve it with some bread and a glass of a dry white white wine.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better if I had added more spices to the sauce. I also think it would have been better if I had used a different type of pasta, such as penne or rigatoni.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think it would have been better if I had used less salt in the sauce. The sardines were also a bit too fishy for my taste. I think it would have been better if I had used a different type of fish, such as

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used canned sardines. I think it would be better with fresh sardines. The sauce was also a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's easily remedied by adding less sugar. Overall,
