The richness of sardines and toasted pine nuts are the perfect partners for a tangle of hearty whole wheat spaghetti and the bright, vivid flavors of currants plumped in orange juice and plenty of chopped parsley. Add a pinch or two of crushed red chile flakes, if you like.

Method
Combine currants and orange juice in a small bowl and set aside.
Drain oil from the 2 sardine tins into a large skillet.
Add additional oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat until oil begins to shimmer.
Add onion and cook, stirring until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add sardines and use a fork or wooden spoon to gently mash them into onion.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 more minutes; remove from the heat.
Add spaghetti to the skillet and use tongs to toss well to combine.
Add currants and orange juice, parsley and vinegar, and toss again.
Serve immediately, garnished with pine nuts.
