1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add spaghetti and cook until tender with a bite, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain spaghetti and keep warm.
2 Meanwhile, heat a cast iron skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Stir and cook until tomatoes begin to burst, about 3 minutes.
3 Add olives and artichokes. Stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice.
4 Add sardines and another tablespoon olive oil, if needed. Stir sardines gently into the sauce, just until well combined.
5 Add Greek seasoning, pasta water, and spinach to the sardine mixture and mix until combined. Add in pasta a little at a time and toss well. Add sun-dried tomatoes and fresh thyme; remove from heat.
6 Once plated, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with lemon zest, and serve.
