CHEF JOHN'S PASTA CON LE SARDE



Chef John's Pasta con le Sarde image

I'm no survivalist, but like any responsible chef I like to have a few cans of sardines stocked away, just in case. If times ever get tough, I could survive for hours, maybe days on them; but since things are going pretty well, I decided to dust off a can, and show you my version of Sicily's famous pasta con le sarde. You can substitute thick spaghetti for the bucatini, if desired.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup dry bread crumbs
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pinch saffron
¼ cup white wine
½ pound bucatini pasta
1 cup diced yellow onion
1 cup diced fennel bulb
salt to taste
¼ cup golden raisins
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 anchovy fillet
2 (4 ounce) cans sardines packed in oil, drained and crumbled
¼ cup toasted pine nuts
1 pinch red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Cook and stir bread crumbs with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until bread crumbs are crispy and toasted, 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer breadcrumbs to a bowl to cool.
  • Grind saffron threads with a mortar and pestle; pour white wine into mortar and stir to combine.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bucatini in boiling water, stirring occasionally until almost cooked through but firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and fennel with a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir raisins, garlic, and anchovy fillet into onion mixture; cook and stir until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Pour saffron-wine into skillet; cook until wine is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Pour 1 ladleful reserved pasta water into skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir pine nuts and red pepper flakes into sauce; simmer until flavors combine and sauce is reduced, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir bucatini and sardines into wine mixture; increase heat to high, and cook, stirring frequently and adding more reserved pasta water as necessary, until sauce and pasta are heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Ladle into bowls and top with fennel fronds and toasted bread crumbs.

PASTA CON LE SARDE



Pasta con le Sarde image

When the photographer and filmmaker Robert Trachtenberg brought this recipe to The Times in 2008, he described it as "a perfectly balanced combination of sardines, fennel, currants and bread crumbs." Adapted from Gusto in Greenwich Village, this seafood pasta needs no cheese: The saltiness and bite from the sardines and the sautéed vegetables should be more than enough.

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup currants
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 small cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fennel, bulb finely chopped, fronds chopped and reserved
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, crushed
Salt
2 pounds fresh sardines (trimmed and deboned, yielding 1 1/4 pounds) or 1 pound canned
1 pound bucatini pasta
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup capers, rinsed
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Combine the currants, red-pepper flakes and wine in a bowl; set aside. In a small sauté pan, melt the butter. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl, stir in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and set aside.
  • In a heavy skillet, heat 1/2 cup olive oil over medium-low heat. When hot, add the onion, garlic, fennel bulb and fennel seeds. Season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fennel is tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Add the wine mixture and the sardines, breaking them into pieces with a fork. Bring to a boil and gently simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add enough salt to the boiling water so that it tastes salty. Boil the bucatini until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes; strain. Return the pasta to the pasta pot and set over low heat. Fold in the fennel-sardine mixture. Toss in the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Add 3/4 of the fennel fronds, the pine nuts, the capers and a quarter of the bread crumbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide pasta among plates and sprinkle the remaining bread crumbs and fennel fronds over each. Serve immediately.

PASTA CON LE SARDE



Pasta con le Sarde image

Harvests from the great, silent fields of sun-bronzed wheat result in more bread than pasta for la tavola siciliana, yet there is a trio of pasta dishes that is cooked throughout the island. One of them dresses pasta in eggplant and tomatoes perfumed with wild mint and basil, the whole dusted with grated, salted ewe's milk ricotta. Called often pasta alla Norma in celebration of Catanian son Vincenzo Bellini it can be a gorgeous dish. Then there is pasta chi vrocculi arriminati-dialect for a dish that calls for a paste of cauliflower and salt anchovies studded with raisins and pine nuts. Although it is luscious, it cannot compete with the glories of the island's pasta con le sarde. A dish full of extravagant Arab timbres, it employs fresh, sweet sardines, salt anchovies, wild fennel, and a splash of saffroned tomato. One presents the pasta cool, as though heat would be violence against its sensuousness. Wild fennel grows abundantly on the lower shanks of Sicily's mountains and, too, along the craggy paths of some of her islands. I used to collect wild fennel along the banks of the Sacramento River and I've heard tell of great clumps of its yellow lace heads bobbing along country roads in America's Northeast. Now I find it a few kilometers from our home in thickets against the pasture fences along the Via Cassia on the road to Rome. Though the scent and the savor of cultivated fennel is sweeter, it behaves well in collaboration with these other elements and yields a still-sumptuous dish.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 to 8 stalks wild fennel or the fronds and stalks from 1 large head of fresh fennel
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
2/3 cup pine nuts
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/4 cup canned tomato puree
4 ounces anchovies, preserved under salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, peeled and minced
16 ounces fresh sardines, filleted, heads and tails removed
1/2 cup dark raisins, plumped in warm moscato or other ambered, sweet wine
16 ounces bucatini or other thick, string pasta
1/3 cup fine, freshly made bread crumbs, browned in 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop the stalks of wild fennel with their flowers or the fronds and stalks of cultivated fennel. Place in a large saucepan, add 5 quarts of cold water, 1 tablespoon of the coarse sea salt, and bring to a simmer, poaching the fennel until the stalks are tender. Drain the fennel, reserving its cooking liquors and press it against the side of the pot to express all its liquid. Finely mince the poached fennel and set it aside.
  • In a small sauté pan over a medium flame, pan-roast the pine nuts until quite brown and set aside. In a small sauté pan, pan-roast the saffron threads for 1 minute over a low flame. Add the 2 tablespoons of white wine, dissolving the threads in it and then mixing the saffroned wine with the remaining wine and the tomato puree. Rinse the anchovies of their salt, remove their heads and bones, and lightly dry them on absorbent paper towels, finally crushing them gently with a fork.
  • In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil and lightly sauté the onion. Add the minced fennel and sauté for 1 minute. Add the crushed anchovies and the sardine fillets, rolling the fish about in the oil with the aromatics for 1/2 minute before adding the plumped raisins and their juices, 1/2 cup of the pine nuts, and the saffron/tomato mixture. Stir, amalgamating the elements and reducing the liquids so that a thick sauce results.
  • Turn the sauce out into a bowl, permitting it to cool and its perfumes and flavors to rest and intensify. Never refrigerate the sauce.
  • Just before serving, cook the pasta to al dente in the reserved fennel-poaching water, adding 1 additional tablespoon of coarse sea salt. Drain the pasta, leaving it somewhat wet, and dress the hot pasta with the sauce, carefully coating each strand.
  • Serve the pasta in shallow bowls, strewing it with the remaining pine nuts and a dusting of bread crumbs. In high summer, we might sip iced moscato with the pasta, but in cooler weather, a rough, tannic red seems right.
