Method
- 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.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta to pack instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of cooking water for later.
- Stir the vinegar into the sauce and season to taste. Tip in the sardines and the olives.
- 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.
