Sardine & Butterbean Puttanesca
Sardines are abundant, rich in omega 3 fats and sustainable. This is one fish we should definitely be eating more of, and the Atlantic diet has tapped into this beautifully.
I have switched out the pasta for butterbeans to give it a more Mediterranean/ Atlantic feel and also to top up the soluble fibre significantly.
