Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the breadcrumbs for 3 mins, stirring, until golden and crisp. Season with black pepper, stir in most of the parsley and set aside.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta to pack instructions. Drain (reserve 3 tbsp of the cooking water); set aside.
Meanwhile, add the reserved oil from the sardine tin to the frying pan and heat over a low heat. Add the onion and chillies and cook for 8 mins. Stir in the raisins and wine (if using), and sizzle for 1 min or until the liquid has almost evaporated.
Stir in the sardines and pine nuts (if using), and cook for 2 mins to heat through. Add the lemon juice.
Add the pasta, the reserved cooking water and remaining parsley. Cook for 1-2 mins to warm through; season. Divide between 2 plates and top with the parsley breadcrumbs and lemon zest.
