Pasta Con Sarde



This is a traditional Italian dish from Sicily in the Palermo region which translates to Pasta with Sardines. It's a unique combination of cauliflower, wild fennel, sardines and raisins, served over bucatini or spaghetti and topped with toasted breadcrumbs. If this sounds like a strange combination to you, don't knock it until you've tried it!

What I love about this dish is that this is not the typical Italian dish you would find on the menu of most Italian restaurants. This recipe is from my good friend Julia, a wonderful Italian cook who's family is originally from Sicily. She was kind enough to share her recipe, which happens to be her favorite dish. I've linked to the Pasta Con Sarde seasoning, which they sell on Amazon, or in any Italian specialty store, or if you're lucky enough to have a good Italian section in your supermarket. To keep the points lower, I suggest using a high fiber or low carb pasta. Here is a list of some low point pastas you can find in your local supermarket. Buon appetito!
