Pasta with Sardines alla Palermitana

Pasta con le Sarde alla Palermitana (in Sicilian dialect "Pasta chi sardi") is one of the typical dishes of Palermo and is famous throughout Sicily and beyond. A dish that passes through the history and cultures that have dominated Sicily, illuminated by the contrast between the sweetness of raisins and the aromatic fennel, softened by the ‘fatness’ of the sardines and golden saffron.
