Back finally, one of the most important items about Italian-American food prepartion is how we have recreated the old dishes. I love this dish. I do not always like to have my pasta with tomato sauce all the time. I love this because it is a dish dedicated to St. Joseph. The Sicilians who created this dish to honor St. Joseph who is the patron saint of the people and the island. St. Joseph’s Day is a big Feast for Italians because in the Middle Ages, God, through St. Joseph’s intercessions, saved the Sicilians from a very serious drought. So in his honor, the custom is for all to wear red, in the same way that green is worn on St. Patrick’s Day.
Here is a recipe that I found and have used for many times and I hope that you enjoy it: I do not add the sardines which is an option.
- 2 ounces spaghetti
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 garlic clove , crushed or finely minced.
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (insides of homemade bread no crust)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese , grated
Directions:
-
Prepare your favorite Spaghetti noodles and set aside.
-
In a large or deep frying pan add the olive oil, crushed garlic clove and bread crumbs and fry until golden brown.
-
Next add the cooked pasta into your frying pan, warm and toss contents until well coated.
-
Plate and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Enjoy…
