    Dear crazy people, this is a sardine sauce, which you can't make without sardines. If you don't like sardines, then you can't make the recipe. Does that all make sense?

    I am half sicilianna chef and this is a great version of this particular dish. Quick fact that you probably already know... The fried breadcrumbs were used in many southern Italian pasta dishes to substitute parmiggiano or pecorino that most families could not afford. TFS :)

    So I just finished making and eating the Pasta con Le Sarde.
    Not knowing exactly what to expect and hoping it wasn't going to be fishy tasting, I decided to try it.
    I have to say, this dish was a complete surprise! It was delicious! Not fishy tasting at all! All of the ingredients worked together beautifully & harmoniously and the Bucatini was the absolute perfect choice for the pasta.
    The only thing I changed was to saute fresh garlic when making the bread crumbs and I left out the red pepper bc I don't like hot, spicy food.
    I urge anyone thinking about trying this recipe to absolutely go for it, you won't be disappointed.

    Chef John, I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have made this recipe. So close to my Sicilian grandmother’s recipe, passed down to me. Don’t tell grandma but I prefer your version! Thank you for posting! Love your channel!!

  • @mechanicalman1068
    @mechanicalman1068 Před 2 lety +11

    As someone who grew up eating this and makes it often, this is a great version. One thing I do differently is toss the whole can of sardines in the pan and squash them up with a fork to a fine mashed consistency. Mix with the onion and fennel and everything else and it becomes a consolidated sauce that coats the pasta better. You won’t have the chunks, which I think makes it harder to coat the pasta and distribute the sardines, but if chunks are your thing do it his way. It’ll be awesome either way.

      I would suggest using currants instead of golden raisins recommended here which make this sauce far sweeter than I've experienced it with other variations on this recipe. Or cut the raisin amount in half.

    This was a so special and revered dish in my Sicilian household. We toasted the breadcrumbs and added some sugar to them. We used currents instead of raisins and I know this is not your version, but besides all those wonderful ingredients, Mom through in a little tomato purée. Oh my goodness, it was so delicious!

    Prepared this today. This was the first time I cooked something out of fennel. And it tasted delicious.
    I used fusilloni (which are spirals like fusilli, but larger) instead of spaghetti - I don't like spaghetti, because they don't hold any sauce well - and it worked perfectly. I think pine nuts may be omitted. Saffron and wine are essential.

    My mom is Sicilian and used to make a similar dish. She would boil the pasta with cauliflower and/or broccoli and use some of that water for the sauce which contained toasted pine nuts, anchovy, hot pepper and capers. The pasta and cauliflower would finish cooking in the sauce, then she would top with the toasted breadcrumbs and grated parmesan. Brings back great memories. I'm definitely going to try this dish, thank you.

      The more authentic Italian food is, the less I like it. I tried to get a tuna hoagie from an Italian deli, but he refuses to use "American" mayonnaise, which means the tuna is all dry and crumbly and falls out as you eat it.
