Pasta Grannies discovers pasta with sardines from Sicily

[@albatrosone]

My mother, who was from Sicilia, always mentioned this pasta, it reminded her of her childhood ❤

[@josephmiceli274]

There is NOTHING more beautiful than an Italian grandmother smiling as she brings you food.

[@NettiGaming]

Makes me so happy.

[@ninababy8]

The traditional dish of Sicily. Loved seeing her make this I make it as well. Pasta con Sarde. Mine is a sweet sauce with a salty contrast of breadcrumbs. We add currants and pine nut. Every village has their own way. Made this for the family a few months ago to rave reviews!! It’s our soul food!! Beautiful!!!

[@chocolatesouljah]

Thanks for this. I live in Northern California and one of my friends made this dish. It is so good that years later I crave it. We didn't have it with pine nuts and currants but I would certainly welcome those flavors.

[@fioreflower7]

I live in Sicily ,in a different town from Rosetta and we prepare this recipe on the Friday just before easter. ❣

[@pastagrannies]

Is it the same recipe - I understand it varies across the island 😊 best wishes, Vicky

[@FelipeMedeiroscwb]

Your videos are completely awesome. Those recipes are so rare and precious, its amazing!

[@luanllluan]

What a mix! Loved her saying kitchen is always a party 💜

[@emmylou-y4b]

I wanted to dig in and enjoy that wonderful meal. Thank you, Rosetta! Thank you Pasta Grannies!

[@gens1sumus]

This dish is famous, if you happen to go to Sicily this is a dish to try , simply fabulous 😍

[@janegregory4637]

excellent stuff. 😁

[@nealieanderson512]

Oh my gosh! What a wonderfully different (for me) dish!! Looks wonderful!!

[@CatherinesPlates]

Love the idea of fennel used. Looks delicious.

[@dpistoltube]

Thank you so much for your unique recipe! I love how you picked the fresh fennel and I was able to see a glimpse of your part of the world. 🌹❤

[@rocksmyth]

My nana always used some sugar in the tomato sauce when it was made with tomato paste. It overcomes the bitterness from the tomato seeds. If the sauce is from fresh tomatoes and is put through a tomato prepares to remove the seeds, sugar is not needed.Thanks for these great recipes. I'm gonna make this one today, not waiting for Easter or Fathers Day or some other excuse.

[@pastagrannies]

Good tip and enjoy the dish - the recipe will also be in the upcoming book if you are interested. best wishes, Vicky

[@turiddudegaetano8725]

Nonna Rosetta you are 'tbe real deal''. Just like Mamma Virginia used to make!..I came looking for this recipe for father's day. Perfect! Many tbanks for this upload.

Hi Matthew, we had a fab time - more recipes to come. 😊 best wishes, Vicky

This would make the Pope happy! It certainly made me happy, what a delight! At 62, I STILL miss my Italian grammie (grandmother), I am sure she watched her mom make something like this. Thank you, I will be making this very soon to share :)

[@erosamuk]

*_OH, HOW WONDERFUL!! WISH I WAS THERE!!!_*

[@pizzaperson1]

Wonderful! It is so nice to see real traditional recipes! Not the watered down British or Americanised versions!

[@pastagrannies]

yes, sugared breadcrumbs would get lost in the translation 😊 best wishes, Vicky

[@LeMcCHarStar4ever]

Just made this exactly like she did. Delicious! No overwhelming fishy flavor at all. The sugar makes this dish very interesting. All the hard work is so worth it. Grazie! ❤

[@pastagrannies]

Great to hear it was a success! best wishes, Vicky

[@paxetbonum4934]

Being Sicilian, I really appreciate this video. Reminds me of my mother, she loved to cook . Delicious video, thanks.

[@michellemeyer1214]

This is "pasta con sarde." Traditionally made for St. Joseph's Day on March 19th ( which is also Fathers Day in Italy ). Deliciouso!!!

[@turiddudegaetano8725]

I am from Catania. We always made this on March 19

[@michellemeyer1214]

Turiddu DeGaetano ........Ciao Turiddu!!! My family is originally from Aragona. In Agrigento. We eat pasta con sarde every year for St. Joseph's Day. We also make "froscia" (frittata) with asparagus or cauliflower and artichoke hearts.

[@turiddudegaetano8725]

@@michellemeyer1214 good to hear from you. We are from Catania. L'ammuri Sicilianu!

[@MrJustliketht]

I'm from Canada and we make it whenever sardines are on sale haha

[@ninababy8]

Hi, 100% Sicilian lady here! I have made this many times. Slightly different. But alway sweet! That’s really the goodness of it. Sweet/ salt/ sour. Soooo good

[@melissaribeiro4173]

This is what I would love to have for dinner tonight!

[@stevelogan5475]

Vicky, i really like this recipe and i really like sardines. I'm land locked in kentucky and fresh or even frozen sardines are impossible to find. I try and find the best jarred sardines packed in olive oil for my recipes, i do not like the tinny taste of the ones packed in tin cans, God bless you ladies and have a wonderful day.

[@pastagrannies]

hi Steve, I'm sorry to hear you live in a sardine desert - I wonder if trout might make a reasonable swap? best wishes, Vicky

This recipe is AMAZING. Just made it for a slow weekend lunch and we were going back for seconds and thirds! A new favourite in this household.(and all the more heartwarming to know it hails from the region where GGF was raised!) Thanks Pasta Grannies and thanks Rosetta!

[@pastagrannies]

hi Gina, that's great to hear! best wishes, Vicky

[@ycls2004]

"if you put fennel in, we're gonna fall out" Seems a wonderful dish. Next time in Sicily will definitely try it.

[@myrnajay2785]

I made a version of it was and knew it had possibilities. Rosetta's looked really good! ; )

[@PinkeeLee]

wow, what interesting flavors. i used to forage young wild mustard tops with my italian neighbor. she too was a fabulous pasta granny chef before youtube. i've wanted to try melting anchovies into sauces but am held back by not knowing how to store remainder of anchovies. oh, and my grandmother used to dry homegrown tomatoes on window screens in the sun in the summer. such nice traditions are found on this channel including such a wonderful chef such as this one...wish i had her head of hair and lovely smile.

[@pastagrannies]

Keep them submerged in oil and they will last several days in the fridge. Blitz them with oil /tomato concentrate and freeze it in small lumps (eg use an ice cube box) and use for sauces. best wishes, Vicky

[@nesa1126]

Weird and original. I would love to try it. Thanks!

[@christopherderei8973]

When Catholics had Meatless Fridays, My mother made the Spaghetti sauce with Tuna fish. it tasted pretty good.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

I tried cooking fresh herring fillets once, absolutely horrible. But canned skinless and boneless sardines, wonderful.

[@namastemoon1971]

I would like to know what’s your favorite dish here in Italy?😀

[@pastagrannies]

That's like choosing your favourite child 😊 I especially love pulse and pasta combo's as well as nut pesto and pasta dishes - coming soon on the channel is pesto trapanese with almonds, basil, tomatoes and garlic, which is a great summer pasta dish. best wishes, Vicky

[@barneybarney5105]

Wonderful

[@NettiGaming]

Yum yum

[@laurademarrais3248]

I love this... looks amazing. I would love to hang out with her. Sweet lady

[@emilaslan8452]

Where are the raisins?

[@evg129]

Any way this could be made gluten free.

[@pastagrannies]

By using any gluten free pasta - this is a recipe where homemade pasta isn't used. best wishes, Vicky

[@pastagrannies]

And of course, sorry, omit the breadcrumbs and follow the recipe from the Palermo area which uses raisins and pine nuts instead. 😊 best wishes, Vicky

[@evesdrop1982]

I don’t even like sardines and I think this would be good

[@wffoss]

Does it come across as super fishy? It seemed like she cook those sardines and anchovies a lot!

[@pastagrannies]

The sardines were super fresh so have a delicate, not too 'fishy' flavour and the sugared breadcrumbs provide a good counterbalance to the flavour. best wishes, Vicky

pasta is great, but in tiny portion

[@kristindemaria2327]

Ugh my aunt Eleanor used to make this for us on st Lucia... I hate it!

[@EmeraldHW]

I hate to say it, but this is the very first recipe on this channel I don't want to try. Fennel and sardines/anchovies are VERY strong flavors.

[@Redactes]

That is why you have to balance the flavors. Because the Sardines are so salty she adds sugar. There is a nice video by jamie oliver with some italian guys on that dish. Check this one out if you are interested.

[@Hollis_has_questions]

i can't get fennel because my Walmarts (i know, i know) doesn't carry it AT ALL. so i use celery for the crunch and fennel seeds/star anise for the flavor. that said, agreed that these are strong flavors -- that's what i LOVE about this recipe. however, i prefer the more traditional recipe, with golden raisins, pine nuts, saffron, and white wine. THAT'S the one i'll be making.

[@paxetbonum4934]

This is a St Joseph menus used to celebrate the feast of St Joseph. A poor man’s diet.

[@adrianguynn5807]

I'd love this if the fennel was left out...ugh! can't stand the stuff..
