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.

PASTA CON LE SARDE
When the photographer and filmmaker Robert Trachtenberg brought this recipe to The Times in 2008, he described it as "a perfectly balanced combination of sardines, fennel, currants and bread crumbs." Adapted from Gusto in Greenwich Village, this seafood pasta needs no cheese: The saltiness and bite from the sardines and the sautéed vegetables should be more than enough.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Combine the currants, red-pepper flakes and wine in a bowl; set aside. In a small sauté pan, melt the butter. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl, stir in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and set aside.
- In a heavy skillet, heat 1/2 cup olive oil over medium-low heat. When hot, add the onion, garlic, fennel bulb and fennel seeds. Season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fennel is tender, about 25 minutes.
- Add the wine mixture and the sardines, breaking them into pieces with a fork. Bring to a boil and gently simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add enough salt to the boiling water so that it tastes salty. Boil the bucatini until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes; strain. Return the pasta to the pasta pot and set over low heat. Fold in the fennel-sardine mixture. Toss in the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Add 3/4 of the fennel fronds, the pine nuts, the capers and a quarter of the bread crumbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide pasta among plates and sprinkle the remaining bread crumbs and fennel fronds over each. 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.

PASTA (BUCATINI) CON LE SARDE (SARDINES)
This is a simple, but classic, Sicilian pasta that has Arabic overtones. The sauce is made with fennel, raisins, sardines and pine nuts. It is usually spooned over a broad or tubular pasta and then topped with a generous sprinkling of toasted breadcrumbs. While I have chosen a simple toss and top application, some cooks prefer to create multiple layers using these ingredients. The breadcrumbs in the dish are used in place of cheese and at one time they actually served that function for the poor. They also have a symbolic importance for those who observe St. Joseph's Day. As you know, Joseph was a carpenter and the breadcrumbs that crown this dish are used because they resemble the sawdust that would be found on the floor of a carpenter's workshop. Pasta con sarde is also known as St. Joseph's pasta, and in those communities where his feast day is still celebrated, you'll find this pasta on family tables, as well as on symbolic altars set up to feed the poor.

PASTA CON LE SARDE (SICILIAN PASTA WITH SARDINES) RECIPE
A classic pasta from Palermo in Siciliy, pasta con le sarde (pasta with sardines) is unlike just about any other Italian pasta dish. Heavily influenced by the cooking of Arabs that ruled Sicily more than a thousand years ago, it features long bucatini or spaghetti in a slick, luscious, and fragrant sauce made from onions, fennel, raisins, pine nuts, anchovies, sardines, and saffron. Instead of cheese, toasted and seasoned bread crumbs grace the plate.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Mince half the fennel fronds and reserve the other half whole.
- Add pine nuts and sardines and cook, stirring, until sardines are just barely cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente, then drain, reserving at least 1 cup pasta cooking water.
- Transfer pasta to skillet along with 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. Return skillet to medium-high heat and cook, stirring and tossing, until pasta is well coated in sauce and any excess liquid has cooked off. Drizzle on some fresh olive oil (don't be shy) along with the minced fennel fronds, and toss well. Season with salt. Add a very small handful of bread crumbs and toss once more.
- If at any point the pasta becomes too dry, add additional pasta cooking water in 1/4-cup increments, and toss to loosen and moisten (you can also drizzle on more olive oil as desired). The noodles should be slick and glossy with a sheen of sauce, but not sitting in a watery puddle.

- Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan over medium-high heat until they smell nice and are slightly browned. Move to a bowl and set aside.
- Pull the backbones out of all the sardines. It doesn't matter if they are a bit messy or if there are any teeny ribs or somesuch. They're going to get broken up anyway.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a palm full of salt. If you have it, Put the tops of a fennel bulb, or, even better, a big bunch of wild fennel into the water and boil it for 15 minutes. Remove the fennel and discard. The idea is to perfume the pasta water. Once this is done, start boiling your pasta.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and add the onion and anchovies. Sauté, mashing the anchovies as you go. They'll dissolve into a paste. Add the garlic and sauté another minute, then all the sardines. Stir well and break up the sardine pieces. Cook about 5 minutes.
