Method

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chillies and cook for 15 secs until sizzling, then stir in the garlic and fry for 1 min until lightly golden. Tip in the tomatoes, bring to a simmer and cook for 15 mins or until thickened.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta to pack instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of cooking water for later.
  3. Stir the vinegar into the sauce and season to taste. Tip in the sardines and the olives.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and tip in the pasta with a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen. Toss together to coat, adding a little more water if needed. Scatter over the basil to serve.
