Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 06:05:37 GMT

Step 1

Cook the spaghetti in a large saucepan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and, once hot, add the onion and a pinch of salt. Fry gently until soft and golden-brown. Once soft, add the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for a further two minutes.

Step 3

Break the sardines into bite-sized pieces, discarding any large bones. Add them to the onions together with the remaining oil. Heat through, then add the kale with 3-4 tablespoons of the spaghetti cooking water. Stir to mix well then cover the frying pan with a lid or foil and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the lid and stir until the kale is completely soft.

Step 5

Drain the spaghetti, reserving a little of the cooking water.

Step 6

Add the spaghetti to the sauce in the frying pan. Squeeze in the lemon juice and mix through to coat the spaghetti (you may need to add a little of the cooking water to loosen your sauce). Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
