Have you ever seen Se7en. If you have you will know all too well the scene representing glutony. If you haven't then why not go and check it out. Be warned however that if you do you will probally never see spaghetti in the same way again.
Seven is one of my all time favourite movies and as a homage to it I have included a fantastic spaghetti dish from one of the most succesfull chefs of our or any generation Mr Gordon Ramsay.
Ingredients
Olive oil, for frying
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
75g rough stale breadcrumbs
200g dried spaghetti
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 x 120g tin good-quality boneless sardines,drained
½ tsp dried oregano
50g rocket leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
How to cook it
1. Heat a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add a glug of oil and, when hot, add half the chopped garlic along with the breadcrumbs. Cook over a medium heat for about 3 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden and toasted and the garlic tender and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper and toss together. Drain on kitchen paper.
2. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, according to packet instructions.
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add a little oil. Fry the remaining garlic and the chilli for 1–2 minutes.
3. Flake the sardines into small pieces, then toss in the pan with the garlic and chilli.
4. Drain the cooked pasta and add to the pan with the sardines. Toss to mix well. Add the oregano, taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
5. When ready to serve, stir the rocket leaves into the pasta and divide between serving plates. Garnish with the crispy garlic breadcrumbs and serve immediately
