Sicilian first courses: Smart, good and fast

Sicilian pasta is 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.

It is one of the oldest recipes, as well as the PASTA WITH’ RECOVERY, also called Sicilian carbonara or the TURIDDU PASTA with tomato and black olives.

The traditional recipe of PASTA C'ANCIOVA AND MUDDICA ATTURRATA it only includes anchovies, parsley, extra virgin olive oil and breadcrumbs. But, from time to time, to the Sicilian spaghetti the farmers added what they had in the pantry: I added sundried tomatoes, capers, parsley, black olives and almonds. In short, you can enrich it with everything you have in your pantry or that you have to consume. The important thing is that the oil is a high quality extra virgin olive oil and that the pasta is al dente! In Sicily it is the most popular pasta for a spaghetti with friends organized at the last moment, because it's simple and tasty.

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. And follow me on the cYouTube. Have a good day.

My dear Hedwig, aside from that the hummus was supposed to be great, in any case this paste can be prepared in less than 2 minutes, so no excuse even on lighting the stove! I kiss you. Ada

Hi Salvatore, you made me a compliment beautiful. I love Sicily, I hope you see, and I try to put a pinch in everything I do. I like to think that the combination of several ingredients in a pot is the mirror of us Sicilians, the result of the various dominations, several stories, they have merged into a beautiful harmony. Thanks again, Ada
