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.
Steps to make Pasta with sardines and pine nuts:
- Put 6 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. Add the garlic cut into slices and the red chillies and cook over low heat until the garlic is lightly brown. If you want it to taste more like garlic or more spicy, add both ingredients finely chopped. Set aside.
- While the garlic and chilli are cooking, toast the pine nuts in a pan over low heat without oil. Do it carefully because they burn easily. Set aside.
- Cook the pasta following the steps of the package. Before it is ready, reserve 4 tablespoons of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Put back the pasta to the pan. Add the drained sardines, pine nuts, parsley and the reserved cooking water. Remove the garlic and chilli oil from the oil (this step is not necessary if they were chopped finely) and add to the pasta quickly.
- Stir while it's still on the fire with a wooden spoon so the sardines melt a bit and the pasta gets a smooth feel. Season, add a little oil if necessary and serve immediately, if you want with Parmesan cheese.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sardines to a plate and return the skillet to medium heat. Add pasta to pan with onion-sardine mixture, sprinkle pasta lightly with salt and gently toss together, adding a little pasta water to keep everything well moistened. Taste and correct seasoning; it should be well seasoned. Transfer to a large platter or wide pasta bowl. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, pine nuts and parsley.
