Brisling Sardines Pasta - PPN#187, Alton Brown on Brisling Sardines

Presto Pasta Nights #187...I'm hosting!
How many times have you gathered ideas of what to cook for the next meal, while currently cooking another dish? Many times for me. When I made this Lightly Spiced Tomatoey Brisling Sardines, I told myself I wanted to make pasta with it another time because the sauce was just...TOO GOOD. May not be the most pleasant-looking pasta but I promise it is delicious - if you like sardines.

Yes! Woo hoo! I am bringing a close to October (gawd, just two months away from 2011!) by hosting Presto Pasta Nights # 187 - event originally created by Ruth from Once upon a Feast. Create your dish, link to this post (more submission guidelines here), send your treats (no tricks, please!) to tigerfish1101 (at) yahoo (dot) com (dot) sg and cc ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com by Thursday 28 October 2010. Round up will be Friday 29 October 2010. Come and join the fun, will ya?

And...so...what did I make for October's closing ? Sardine Pasta! I mashed the sardines up in this sauce so that the boney fish gets disintegrated into the sauce, giving that flavor bomb for thy pasta. You should watch Alton Brown's Video on Brisling Sardines at the end of this post :)
