Here is a traditional favorite from the island of Sicily.
Pasta con Sarde
6 Tbs (90 ml) extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 3 anchovies, rinsed and finely chopped 1/4 cup (60 ml) finely chopped feathery leaves from fresh fennel 1/4 cup (60 ml) pine nuts (pignoli) 2 Tbs (30 ml) raisins soaked in hot water for 10 minutes and drained 1 can (3 3/4 oz, 106 g) sardines packed in oil, drained 1 lb (450 g) spaghetti, bucatini, or perciatelli, cooked according to package directions and drained 1/4 cup (60 ml) toasted bread crumbs
Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderate heat and saute the onion until tender but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add the anchovies and stir until they dissolve. Add the fennel leaves, pine nuts, raisins, and sardines. Cook, stirring gently, for 5 minutes. Toss with the cooked pasta and transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs and toss gently. Serves 4 to 6. ;D
