Method
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the onion over a medium heat for 8 mins until softened and lightly golden. Stir in the garlic and chilli and fry for 2 mins. Add the vinegar, tomatoes and 200ml water and cook for 8-10 mins until the tomatoes start to break down, pressing them with the back of a spoon to release their juices.
- Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti for 10-12 mins until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of the cooking water.
- Stir the olives and sardines into the tomatoes, flaking the fish into chunks with a spoon. Reduce the heat to low and tip in the spaghetti with a splash of the reserved pasta water; toss everything together so the sauce coats the pasta. Add a little more water if you need to. Serve sprinkled with the parsley.
