Sardines - healthy heart food

My favourite food is fish. Shellfish, smoked salmon, smoked haddock, cod, sardines you name it and i love it! So for lunch the other day i cooked up a little something all fish lovers would like, its a very salty and savoury dish, and hey salts not good for you but dang it makes food taste sooo guurd!! anyone else like salt and plain pasta? lol well i found a tin od sardines in the cupboard the other day and decided to make my own little pasta sauce :) i used....
1 mini pot of salsa as the base (honestly i do this a lot its genuis haha)
1/2 a tin of sardines in brine
chopped aubergine (eggplant) about 50grams
1/4 of a small white onion
handful of capers (or green olives - if you don't like the taste you can leave them out, i have only just got used to them!)
thyme (2 tsp)
0regano (2 tsp)
salt and pepper to taste (i love pepper)
dry pasta (i used fusilli pasta)
put the pasta in a pan with water and let it come to a boil, then bring down the heat and let it cook for as long as te instructions say, -(usually 10-12 minutes for small pasta)
cook the thickly chopped aubergine in boiling water first to soften it a bit then drain of all the water and put it in a saucepan with the other ingredients and just let it cook/simmer on a low heat for about 10-15 minutes! and voila! you have a spicy healthy pasta sauce that brightens up any ol' lnchtime!
