Sicilian Inspired Sardine Pasta

Inspired by my trip to Sicily, I had to try and replicate the traditional pasta con le sarde I had while I was there. It’s also a bowl of sunshine which we could all do with right now. I loved the fusion of cuisines we experienced in Palermo, particularly the blend of Arabic and more traditional Italian food traditions.There are many versions of this pasta dish, but this is mine. A fragrant, sweet and sour sauce made from onions, fennel, raisins, pine nuts, sardines, and saffron, topped with plenty of parmesan (which I know is not authentic), parsley and olive oil.
