PASTA CON LE SARDE (SICILIAN PASTA WITH SARDINES) RECIPE



Pasta Con le Sarde (Sicilian Pasta With Sardines) Recipe image

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.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup (120ml) dry white wine
1 1/2 ounces (45g) golden raisins (about 1/4 cup)
Pinch saffron, optional
4 1/2 tablespoons (67ml) extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seed
1 1/4 ounces (35g) panko bread crumbs (about 1/2 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup minced peeled and cored fennel bulb (about half of one large 1 1/2-pound fennel bulb with fronds), fronds reserved
1 cup minced yellow onion (about half of one large 1-pound onion)
4 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1 1/4 ounces (35g) pine nuts (about 1/4 cup), toasted
5 whole sardines (about 3/4 pound/340g total), filleted and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound (450g) bucatini or spaghetti

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.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium shallot, chopped (or use green onion)
1 small onion, chopped
10 fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 cup white wine
3/4 cup vegetable broth
1/3 cup golden raisin
8 ounces linguine
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted (To toast pine nuts, place in small, dry pan on medium heat and cook, shaking pan, until golden, 1 1/)
1 tablespoon toasted whole wheat bread crumbs
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese (or try my Vegetarian Parmazano "cheese"#60231)
1 tablespoon flax seed oil or 1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring large pot of water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add shallot and onion and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium.
  • Add basil, pepper flakes and wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add vegetable broth and raisins and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta to boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking.
  • Cook pasta until just tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Drain well.
  • Add pine nuts, bread crumbs and Parmazan cheese to sauce; stir well.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in flaxseed or olive oil.
  • Add pasta and toss to coat.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot to cook the pasta, as it will expand significantly during cooking.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, or until it is al dente (tender but still slightly firm to the bite).
  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Add the raisins, bread crumbs, garlic, and red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes more, or until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Stir in the white wine and cook for 1 minute, or until the wine has reduced by half.
  • Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired.
