Sardines is one of our go-to food. It’s one of those things we buy and then stock in the pantry as an emergency food. Something to eat when there’s no budget left to buy fresh produce from the market or something to eat when we are too tired to cook. One of the most common practice is to eat it straight from the can, topping a bowl of steaming hot rice from the rice cooker.

I grew up eating sardines paired with warm and freshly cooked pandesal during breakfast and merienda. What we usually do is open a can of sardines in tomato sauce, pour it in a small bowl, then we squeeze a calamansi over it and put about a teaspoon of soy sauce . Then we mix it up and dip our pandesals in it. When we are feeling a bit diligent, we sauté it in a bit of oil, minced garlic and chopped onions first before putting calamansi and soy sauce.

But did you know that aside from the common practice of eating it, you can actually make dishes a lot more exciting using sardines as one of the ingredients?

With that in mind, I woke up early today to buy fresh Kesong Puti {Native White Cheese} from the local market to create a special dish using Mega Creations Spanish Style Sardines.

Mega Creations Premium Sardines is a product of the Mega Fishing Corporation, the fishing component of the Mega Group of Companies. It comes in two variants: the Spanish Style and Natural Oil. The Spanish Style is a bit spicy while the Natural Oil keeps the natural and fresh taste of the fish.

As much as possible, I try to serve fish dishes to my family three to four times a week because it’s healthier than red meat. It is also a good source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients and has high omega-3 fatty acid content.

For lunch today, I made MEGA CREATIONS Spanish Sardines, Black Olives and Kesong Puti Linguine.

My daughter doesn’t like eating pasta with red sauces. Her favorite pasta dishes are usually oil based or those that has thin white sauces. So that’s what I cook most of the time. I made two batches of this dish. One with Spanish Style Sardines and another with Sardines in Natural Oil. Ykaie might find the Spanish Style a bit spicy for her taste.

I used olive oil and a bit of the oil that comes with the sardines to incorporate more sardine flavor. The fish meat is very easy to flake and incorporate in the sauce, coating each pasta strand and making the taste cling in every bite.What I love about this recipe is that aside from being healthy, it’s one of those dishes that you can cook in minutes.

The Kesong Puti that I used is the one bought in the local wet market/palengke. I prefer using it because it’s not as salty as the one that can be bought from the supermarket.
