Clean the sardines. Remove their scales and innards and then fillet them.
Put the sardines in a serving plate, well detached and on their back.
Mix the orange juice with 1 tablespoon olive oil and soy sauce. Sprinkle the sardines with this mixture and let them marinate for about 30 minutes.
At this point cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package; meanwhile cook the sardines with all their marinating juice and aromatic herbs in a wok over a medium heat.
Drain the pasta and pour it into the wok. Let all the ingredients flavour for few seconds over a high heat stirring continuously. Season to taste with salt only if necessary.
Pour the pasta into a bowl, add the remaining olive oil, stir and let all cool.
Your dish is ready!
