SARDINE PASTA (PASTA CON LE SARDE) SICILIAN RECIPE AND HISTORY
Sardines pasta is a traditional Sicilian delicacy, and, as usual for many Italian recipes, is the protagonist of a legend and a historical fact. The ingredients of this dish are typical of Sicily but also inspired by the foreign occupations of the island into the centuries. Here the history and the recipe of this legendary dish!

Steps:
- First, soak the raisin into a bowl full of warm water.
- After that, soak the saffron in another little cup along with 2 tbsp of water.
- The tradition wants wild fennel, very easy to find in Sicily.
- But, if you are not so lucky to have wild fennel to hand, use the greenest and most tender parts of fennel tops.
- Bring to boil a pot big enough to cook the pasta full of water.
- Now, mince the tops of fennel roughly along with the leaves.
- Finally, poach them 1 minute, raise and pour into a bowl full of iced water to preserve the color and stop the cooking. Save the water flavored with fennel.
- Although this sardines pasta is also delicious prepared with canned sardines, fresh fish is traditionally the best option.
- If you opt for fresh sardines, rinse them thoroughly and eliminate the scales rubbing the body under running water.
- Then, open the stomach with your thumb and discard the offal.
- Finally, pull firmly and gently the head and separate the meat from the backbone.
- Rinse the fish fillets again, dry them, and place in the fridge until ready to cook.
- Place a little pan over medium heat and sauté the pine nuts until golden, then pour them into a cup.
- Now, peel and mince the onion finely.
- After that, pour the onion in a pan and sauté over medium heat along with 3 tbsp of olive oil until smooth and translucent.
- Rinse the raisin and add into the pan along with the pine nuts and the anchovies, and the minced fennel.
- Cook 5 minutes more, then add the sardine fillets. Sauté 3-4 minutes stirring until the fish starts to fall apart.
- Do not overcook the fish. Finally, add salt as needed and another splash of olive oil.
- Toast the breadcrumbs or Panko in a little pan until golden, then pour into a bowl.
- Cook the pasta in the same water used to poach the fennel, along with 4.5 tbsp of coarse salt.
- Raise the pasta "al dente" and toss it with the sardines sauce and the saffron.
- Complete with toasted breadcrumbs and black pepper.
- Serve immediately.

CHEF JOHN'S PASTA CON LE SARDE
I'm no survivalist, but like any responsible chef I like to have a few cans of sardines stocked away, just in case. If times ever get tough, I could survive for hours, maybe days on them; but since things are going pretty well, I decided to dust off a can, and show you my version of Sicily's famous pasta con le sarde. You can substitute thick spaghetti for the bucatini, if desired.

Steps:
- Cook and stir bread crumbs with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until bread crumbs are crispy and toasted, 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer breadcrumbs to a bowl to cool.
- Grind saffron threads with a mortar and pestle; pour white wine into mortar and stir to combine.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bucatini in boiling water, stirring occasionally until almost cooked through but firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
- Heat remaining olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and fennel with a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is soft, about 10 minutes.
- Stir raisins, garlic, and anchovy fillet into onion mixture; cook and stir until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Pour saffron-wine into skillet; cook until wine is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Pour 1 ladleful reserved pasta water into skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir pine nuts and red pepper flakes into sauce; simmer until flavors combine and sauce is reduced, about 5 minutes.
- Stir bucatini and sardines into wine mixture; increase heat to high, and cook, stirring frequently and adding more reserved pasta water as necessary, until sauce and pasta are heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Ladle into bowls and top with fennel fronds and toasted bread crumbs.
