Pasta with sardine sauce is a variation on the theme of southern Italian pasta served with a seafood tomato sauce. Tuna is a common  seafood ingredient, but if you are concerned about mercury levels in tuna you can substitute any seafood. Anchovies are popular in Italy, but many Americans loath the super salty canned variety available in the United States. The only variety of anchovies Americans have ever known

Sardines are readily available canned; some in tomato sauce. Sardines are a good source of omega-3 fat and since they are low on the predator chain have little or no mercury.

This quick, easy recipe is made using canned diced tomatoes. You can substitute tomato sauce or diced fresh tomatoes if desired.
