Spaghetti alla siciliana

Spaghetti alla siciliana: a simple recipe, indeed very simple, and by surprising speed. Is’ a penniless but sauce contains many ingredients symbol of Sicilian culinary culture, which is made of poor but tasty items, that combined together give each time a minor miracle of taste. This, in Sicilian, It's called pasta with ' anciove and muddica ', that is, with anchovies and breadcrumbs, who are the two fixed plate ingredients. Then, from time to time, the peasants were what they had in the pantry: I added sundried tomatoes, Capers, parsley and almonds. Is’ a peasant recipe, but very yummy and I think represents perfectly my land. Do not miss all my SICILIAN RECIPES, from traditional and notes to those you find preserved only in the Sicilian houses

Not surprisingly I leave you today with a recipe of my land, because I'm about to leave for Sicily for a tour organized by Eden Hotels. A slow journey and on a human scale that will cross the island through the path, and then the feeling of the time that passes, perfumes, the details of my wonderful land. Through the Sicilian culture, that sweeps through the ages and places in Magna Greece to Arab rule, and of course through the food. That Sicily is itself culture, tradition and history, one of the moments that best represent us.

I will share with you my experience live on Instagram, Facebook, Google + and Twitter. Then I will tell all in a travel itinerary between Agrigento, Licata, Niscemi, Monterosso and Ragusa Ibla, with so many recommendations on how to visit Sicily so slow’ and conscious. I can't wait to start to go home.
