5. Pasta con le Sarde An unfamiliar pasta dish with a Sicilian twist. Made with Sardines, anchovies, raisins, pine nuts and breadcrumbs stirred through spaghetti. And we mustn’t forget the fennel, which is abundant in Sicily. The seafood gives it a distinct Mediterranean flavour and an Arabic influence comes in the raisins and pine nuts, reflecting Sicily’s heritage.
