Pasta Con Sarde
Pasta Con Sarde is a traditional Italian dish from Sicily in the Palermo region. Many people have a few cans of sardines tucked away in their kitchen and making this sardine sauce served over pasta is a great way to use them. It’s a unique combination of fennel, sardines and raisins, served over pasta and topped with toasted breadcrumbs.
