Dear crazy people, this is a sardine sauce, which you can't make without sardines. If you don't like sardines, then you can't make the recipe. Does that all make sense?

who the hell doesn't like sardines fish is delicious some people are just dumb and want some pasta with sauce and no meat smh

I am half sicilianna chef and this is a great version of this particular dish. Quick fact that you probably already know... The fried breadcrumbs were used in many southern Italian pasta dishes to substitute parmiggiano or pecorino that most families could not afford. TFS :)

For those who think saffron is really expensive, go to a middle eastern grocery instead of the upscale hipster boutique.

I ❤ them too. My dad used to say the breadcrumbs where called ‘poor man’s Parmesan cheese’ because many poor Sicilians couldn’t afford Parmesan cheese.

So I just finished making and eating the Pasta con Le Sarde. Not knowing exactly what to expect and hoping it wasn't going to be fishy tasting, I decided to try it. I have to say, this dish was a complete surprise! It was delicious! Not fishy tasting at all! All of the ingredients worked together beautifully & harmoniously and the Bucatini was the absolute perfect choice for the pasta. The only thing I changed was to saute fresh garlic when making the bread crumbs and I left out the red pepper bc I don't like hot, spicy food. I urge anyone thinking about trying this recipe to absolutely go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Chef John, I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have made this recipe. So close to my Sicilian grandmother’s recipe, passed down to me. Don’t tell grandma but I prefer your version! Thank you for posting! Love your channel!!

Half way through, I realised I hate sardines AND fennel. Then realised I've watched every single foodwishes video. It's an automatic click. Regardless of whether or not I think I'm going to try the recipe. I just like hearing you narrate! You should narrate everything

This tastes even better than it looks. Absolutely incredible. I thank you from the bottom of my stomach!

I’ve made it several times and it never looks good. All grey and gloppy. But oh boy, it does taste better. A lot better.

As someone who grew up eating this and makes it often, this is a great version. One thing I do differently is toss the whole can of sardines in the pan and squash them up with a fork to a fine mashed consistency. Mix with the onion and fennel and everything else and it becomes a consolidated sauce that coats the pasta better. You won’t have the chunks, which I think makes it harder to coat the pasta and distribute the sardines, but if chunks are your thing do it his way. It’ll be awesome either way.

Thanks John, husband is a souchef and he had seconds! Did have to kick him out of the work space twice but all in all he didn't tell me a single thing I could have done better (as a total newb I can ask for nothing else) I'll be on the look out for fish and vegetarian dishes from you from now on😀

My cats (2) wouldn't let me make this recipe, they ganged up on me as soon as they heard the sardine cans lid pop.

This fellow is talented and well versed in the culinary arts. Thank you very much for posting. Sardines are a super food.

thanks John, you're always there when i need you

In my humble opinion, the best video Chef John has ever made. The passion for taste and texture was obvious - a delight to consume

Made this two nights in a row. Love the recipe.

This is my favorite video that you’ve made, primarily because the recipe blows my mind, and partly because of your sense of humor. I’m sorry that your top 3 family culinary inspirations have now passed beyond the veil between the worlds. Blessings to you in this time of grief.

I would suggest using currants instead of golden raisins recommended here which make this sauce far sweeter than I've experienced it with other variations on this recipe. Or cut the raisin amount in half.

I find it charming that your Sicilian friends are so concerned for our good health. It's nice to have friends like that, isn't it? :)

This was a so special and revered dish in my Sicilian household. We toasted the breadcrumbs and added some sugar to them. We used currents instead of raisins and I know this is not your version, but besides all those wonderful ingredients, Mom through in a little tomato purée. Oh my goodness, it was so delicious!

This is absolutely, definitively, positively, one of the best, most delicious pasta's I have ever eaten! Thanks Chef.

Yes! I have this ever Christmas Eve. Your recipe is a little different, but as you would say, you're the Monet of your own pasta con le Sarde!

I made this tonight and it is one of the greatest pasta dishes I have ever tasted! Thank you chef John! :)

Made this tonite and another home run courtesy of Chef John! I used canned sardines with harissa from TJ's and it worked beautifully. Thanks again, Chef John!

Awesome video... Thanks a bunch for this. :D

I tried this recipe with canned sardines that were lightly smoked. Magnifique!!

Spent some time in Sicily when I was in the Navy YEARS ago. Some of the best food I've ever had in my life was on that island. My first real Calzone was so amazing, I bought another one, but I was 20 and had an endless appetite and metabolism. Good times. Going to try this recipe because I love Sardines.

I always love more authentic Italian recipes over the Americanized ones. This looks great, might have to try it!

Thank you; I did the same recipe minus the wine, saffron, breadcrumbs and pasta, used it as a topper on jasmin rice and it tasted absolutely incredible!

Just cooked this ... Husband had like 3 servings of this!!! Hats off Chef John .. love your recipes

Made this (without saffron) and find it a super dish. It´s quick and delicious and healthy. Thank you for this recepy, will repeat it!

This looks so, so, so amazeballs. I've been in the mood for something different and I think we have a winner.

Chef John you have everything. Thanks!

This couldn't have come at a better time!. I was actually searching for sardines recipes today. I will try this

....ok, I am buying sardines tomorrow. Love your recipes! Wonderful.

This sounds marvelous!!! All the unusual ingredients in it and looks pretty fast and easy. I’ve got to try this.

Made this tonight minus the saffron (I'm a college student). So friggin good. 10/10 would recommend. I also use spanish smoked paprika as my spice. Was nice :)

i saw this recipe on the channel some years ago, but always postponed trying it out. Today was the first time and though we skipped saffron infused wine and pine nuts, this was most certainly one of the best pastas i have eaten ever and we have traveled Italy a few times. Many many thanks for inspiration!!!

The homemade breadcrumbs make the dish! Thank you for showing us another great meal.

Ah memories, I remember my Sicilian grandma making this dish on special occasions. Bravo, mangia !

Made and ate this dish today. DELICIOUS. You did it again.

What an exquisite dish, with so much character. I haven't tried it but it is indeed a thing of beauty! If it tastes as good as it looks it should be given some degree of iconic status.

This is one of the best dishes I had in Rome. I’m definitely going to make it.

I cooked it (easier than I expected) and enjoyed it, the recipe is abso-freaking-lutely amazing!

I'm going to have to try this. I had this meal when I spent a few days in Palermo (then went to Catania, Siracusa and Cefalù). I tell you it was so goood! Seafood in Sicily is fresh and the markets are to die for! This brings me back to my favorite part of Italy (after Napoli!). Thank God I also like raisins, :-)

Absolutely tip-top, no hard cooking, all stay fresh. Sardines and noodles for me tonight as I am all prepped, but next time it will be this way... thank you, Chef.

and as always, I enjoyed watching this video.

I love this chef and Food Wishes. His voice is amusing. I want to make this but I have always hated raisins in Italian food, especially in meatballs.

I have found my new youtube addiction! This chef is amazing, and so funny. What a charming guy. Very informative like Alton Brown, with a voice like John Tesh. perfection. :)

I’ve always made basic sardines with pasta and dried herbs with a few chopped black olives, but I’m going to try this recipe, looks fantastic. Thanks.

I'm so hungry now,I definitely make this looks so yummy!,thank you for the recipe,your the best.

OMG, my Sicilian mother used to make this dish! She has since passed away. Misplaced her recipe! So delicious. Thanks for posting!!!

I would like to try this just to see what it tastes like. It looks good. TFS!

Who's here during Covid-19? Cooking with sardines is new to me already, and then the raisins! Had to see another video and then this one with raisins to be convinced. Will be trying to make something close tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Absolutely brilliant, as always. Chef John, I have to tell you,that, I used 5 of your side dishes at x-mas. They went lovely with our turducken. Many thank's.

Love this guy. What a great voice over.

Best recipe to date. Love it. CJ, you brought me back to my childhood. Thanks!

Looks so, so delicious! Thanks for sharing the video.

I can't wait to try this dish. Two of my favoruite ingredients are fennel and the store had cans of sardines on sale this week! Talk about timing. Pine nuts are really scrummy too.

You make everything look so easy and delicious!

I have to try this....when I can get my fennel to grow as we can't get it here. Looks amazing! I love the idea of the raisins.

I don't even like sardines, but I'm dying to try this just for the fennel, raisins and white wine 😋💕

Prepared this today. This was the first time I cooked something out of fennel. And it tasted delicious. I used fusilloni (which are spirals like fusilli, but larger) instead of spaghetti - I don't like spaghetti, because they don't hold any sauce well - and it worked perfectly. I think pine nuts may be omitted. Saffron and wine are essential.

Great video that is exactly the way I cook it since I don't have finnochi selvatico I use just fennel this recipe is awesome

My mother made it...my grandmother made it and my great grandmother made this. Now I will make it! Thanks.

I used this recipe/technique and it is now my favorite pasta. Chef John is a godsend! EDIT: Well I substituted lesser goods for the expensive stuff but still...

You sold me on another one of your recipes! Going to try it tonight.

I use dill as well as fennel and alot of lemon zest ... love this recipe! Tx!!

Merry Christmas to you and yours! Thank you for all wonderful recipes

God I LOVE Your COOKING & HUMOUR!!! THXUUUUUU CHEF JOHN! BIG OXO

You sounds like that one guy from The Simpsons that had a stroke and always ends his sentences on an upwind. I love it.

I didn't know that I needed this, but I NEED THIS. I'm going to buy the ingredients tomorrow and try this.

me encantó!!! Gracias Chef John!!!

In my family this was always referred to as Pasta con Sarde, omitting the "le." This seems to be much like the recipe my grandmother used, down to the bucatini. Will have to try making this. I was never a huge sardine fan but this stuff is great!

Fascinating!!...and I do love sardines

My mom is Sicilian and used to make a similar dish. She would boil the pasta with cauliflower and/or broccoli and use some of that water for the sauce which contained toasted pine nuts, anchovy, hot pepper and capers. The pasta and cauliflower would finish cooking in the sauce, then she would top with the toasted breadcrumbs and grated parmesan. Brings back great memories. I'm definitely going to try this dish, thank you.

Looks delicious, can't wait to make !! We love sardines too !

Delicious recipe - I am fond of sardines but I'd never prepared them for pasta. It has encouraged me to cook with fennel now. I always thought the taste was overpowering but if you balance the flavours as in this dish, it is excellent. Very enjoyable. Thank you.

I have made this about 3 times now. Delicious

This is one of my favorite dishes! ...Even the kids in my family LOVE this dish... Sardines arent hardcore fishy tasting ...they are are delicious!

That sounds great. A keeper recipe !

Greetings from Peru! I love your videos, the editing and commentary make it very enjoyable. Please never stop, and thank you for this high quality channel! p.s: make greek yogurt!

This dish is a masterpiece in balance. It's on my hit list.

I've eaten this in Sicily, and have been wondering just how they made it so delicious ever since. Such good textures and flavours! Thanks for enlightening me and sticking to an authentic recipe. I do however agree with @MrPoznano that a good quality spaghetti might work better here.

I tried this the other day not because I like sardines but because chef John has never steered me wrong. I didn't have the saffron infused wine, the pine nuts or golden raisins and had to substitute and it was still delicious!

That looks amazing can't wait to try this recipe out.

I have tried this recipe it's absolutely delicious .. I'm gana make it every week now ..

Awesome recipe! thank you!

The more authentic Italian food is, the less I like it. I tried to get a tuna hoagie from an Italian deli, but he refuses to use "American" mayonnaise, which means the tuna is all dry and crumbly and falls out as you eat it.

Looks delicious , I’ve been looking for a great recipe, this is it. Thanks 😎👍

I just made this and it was The Bomb! Thanks chef 😊❤️

I had this at a Sizilian restaurent last night. Mindblowing! 🤩

This is exactly like the pasta con le sarde that I had on Sicily. Great work, Chef John. The people from Sicily only use a fork to eat their pasta, no spoons.
