Ingredients

Fusilloni 360 grams or 450 grams of handmade semolina busiati

300 g of anchovies (or even sardines)

a bunch of parsley

a clove of garlic

Chili, to taste

extra virgin olive oil, to taste

40 grams of pistachios

20 grams pine nuts

the juice of half an orange

Orange Zest (I use those of Ribera Dop)

lemon zest (I use the Interdonato Messina Pgi)

Salt, to taste

Procedure

To prepare the pesto pasta with anchovies, Pistachio, pine nuts and citrus, wash the anchovies (or sardines) and clean them by removing the head, the iisp, the innards and the small plug on the back. Cut into chunks and put them to marinate for 15 minutes in the orange juice Ribera.

Meanwhile chop the parsley and garlic and cut the chilli into small pieces. Put the oil in an anti-adherent pan, the chilli and chopped garlic and make them sauté slightly, then add half of the chopped parsley and anchovies.

Season the sauce and cook over high heat for 2 minutes,, fire off, add a little orange zest and lemon. Meanwhile, toast the pistachios and pine nuts in a frying pan and crush them coarsely, then add half the crushed nuts to anchovy sauce.

Boil the pasta in salted water and drain it al dente, setting aside a little of the cooking water. Combine the pasta with the sauce and keep everything by adding the cooking water slowly and, If necessary, a drizzle of olive oil to Polish everything. Serve the pasta with pesto of anchovies, Pistachio, pine nuts and citrus garnish the dish with a sprinkling of fresh parsley, the chopped pistachios from Bronte, pine nuts and some citrus zest. Bon appétit!

MATCHING: Citrus aromas and the taste of fish are combined with a Sauvignon Doc del Collio. We chose the one produced by the company Skok, that smacks of white peach and tomato leaf with floral notes. We recommend serving it at around 12 degrees.

Thanks for this recipe. Tried it today with some small change:
pickled sardines with pink grapefruit, I also used the Peel
added some cherry plum tomatoes from the garden
without lemon and orange and leaving the pine nuts of my vegetable market of trust (price per kg an exaggeration, but it's worth it!!!) integers.
Pasta: Fusilli
GREAT TO BE REDONE

Ada Parisi July 30, 2015 - 21:58

What a great idea to marinate in pink grapefruit! Delicate and fragrant…Thanks for giving me confidence Antoinette! A hug and good summer!

Antoinette August 1, 2015 - 21:29

Thanks! Friday I went to the fish market to purchase a nice local reef Octopus to venture into your recipe for Octopus salad. We hope to be able! But I think I can juggle for the tentacles at the top have you got any suggestions for me to cut it? Thanks for your recipes delicious that are stimulating my skills in the kitchen! Antoinette

Ada Parisi August 2, 2015 - 11:40

Hi Antoinette, Once you've cooked the Octopus cut the tentacles and fouls in pieces. Then, at the base of the head, using a knife or scissors, delete the spout, also trying to delete some’ of skin because at those points is thicker. Thinly cut all the hardest parts around the head. While the soft part of the head I suggest you cut it into strips.
See you soon
ADA

I was rereading the recipe because you will do it tomorrow for lunch and the eye I dropped it on the picture, those beautiful curls lying over the noodles are fried anchovies?
Sorry I'm kinda “busybody”, but your recipes are very intriguing and, Obviously, good!
Have a good evening, Antoinette

Ada Parisi March 6, 2016 - 22:43

Hi Antoinette, Yes those you see are fried anchovies. If you want to try to make them too roll up, just dip them, roll them up and pop them into one toothpick. Fry them with the toothpick and then take: will be rolled. Let me know, good Sunday lunch.
