Method

Heat the oil in a lidded frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and basil stalks; cover and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic, cook for 1-2 mins, then add the tomatoes. Cook for 10-12 mins, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down. Stir in the cheese, then flake in the sardines and the sauce from the tin. Add most of the basil leaves and some black pepper.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti to pack instructions. Drain, reserving a mugful of cooking water. Toss the pasta through the tomato and sardine sauce, adding a splash of the cooking water to loosen, if needed. Divide among bowls, then scatter with the remaining basil and extra black pepper to serve.
