Updated at: Fri, 13 Oct 2023 18:18:42 GMT

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425⁰ and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

While oven is preheating, peel carrots and chop into french fry sized sticks before placing on baking sheet.

Step 3

Toss carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, 1/3 of the grated parmesan (5g) and 1 tbsp lemon juice.

Step 4

Bake carrots at 425⁰ for 25min or until fork tender.

Step 5

While carrots are roasting, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Mince garlic while water is boiling.

Step 6

Once the water is boiling, add Ditalini pasta and cook for 10 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 7

While pasta and carrots are cooking, open the can of sardines and add to a small bowl with the minced garlic, last tablespoon of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and the red pepper flakes. Using a fork, mix well, mashing the sardines into a paste.

Step 8

Once the pasta has cooked, drain from the pot into a colander and put aside. Putting the empty pot back on the stove, lower the burner heat to medium-low and add salted butter. Once butter is melted, add your sardine mixture and stir for about one minute until fragrant.

Step 9

Remove pot from heat and add the pasta into the sardine paste, mixing well until incorporated. Add the remaining (10g) Parmesan and continue mixing, adding fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Once carrot fries are done, add a little extra grated parmesan if desired and plate next to the pasta or package and refrigerate together for future meals.
