Pine nuts 25 g

To prepare the pasta with sardines start by cleaning sardine if not already cleaned. Cleaning them is very simple, just detach the head and pull them open by sliding your finger between the two parts, so you can gently detach the central bone. During this operation use a trickle of running water to eliminate the waste and clean the sardines at the same time. Keep the clean sardines on a plate. Soak the raisins for about ten minutes. Slice the onion as finely as possible (you can chop it in a mixer for a few moments on the pulse to avoid obtaining a mush) and pour it into a pan with the olive oil and anchovies. Cook for about ten minutes over low heat and stir frequently, so that the base lightly fries without burning and the anchovies dissolve.
In the meantime, dilute the saffron in the water stirring with a fork, and then pour it into the pan and add the clean sardines
Then drain and rinse the raisins and pour them into the pan, add the finely ground almonds and whole pine nuts, stir and continue cooking over a low flame for another 10 minutes
Put a pot on the stove with plenty of water to boil and then add the fennel. Then rinse the tender part and blanch for a couple of minutes. Drain well, without throwing away the water, letting the fennel cool for a few moments so you can handle it.
Squeeze it well and chop it with a knife, cutting one cut from the other an inch or so (a couple of centimeters) apart. Then put it in a pan, add salt and pepper, and stir to mix well.
Boil the pasta in the same water that you cooked the fennel in. In the meantime, toast the breadcrumbs and pour into a pan with 10 g of oil. Mix often to keep from burning and when they are golden brown, turn off the heat. At this point, the pasta should be cooked al dente, drained, and then sauteed briefly in the pan. Place and garnish with the breading and a few drops of Novello Bonolio: your pasta with sardines is ready, enjoy your meal!

Why does olive oil get cloudy and thick?
Probably at some point you’ve seen some white lumps in the olive oil you store at home, but you know why?
If you’re a long time olive oil user then it’s possible that at some point you’ve noticed white crystals in the olive oil you keep at home. But do you know what they are and why they are there?
To explain, let’s start by comparing the freezing process of olive oil and water:
Water is a homogeneous liquid made entirely of H2O (hydrogen and oxygen) molecules. Since it’s made of one type of molecule, all of its particles freeze at the same temperature: 0ºC (32º fahrenheit). As the temperature lowers, the movement of the water molecules becomes slower until the water reaches freezing temperature at 0ºC, at this point the molecules stop moving and the water freezes and becomes solid: ice.
A similar process takes places with olive oil, but olive oil is not a homogeneous liquid like water is. The difference is that olive oil is made of a few different molecules, called triglycerides, and each has its own freezing temperature. The freezing point of these different molecules ranges between 0ºC and 15ºC depending on the fatty acid composition. The colder the olive oil gets, the greater the number of molecules that will start solidifying. Cold temperatures is the reason some white crystals may appear in your bottle of olive oil, especially during winter months.
Does that mean the olive oil is not good to use?
Not at all! The olive is perfectly fine without causing any nutrient loss. The freezing process is perfectly natural and has no impact on the quality of the olive oil.
In colder homes and countries in the Europe, olive oil can freeze under normal conditions, especially during the winter. In these cases, don’t worry and just remember that it’s actually better to store olive oil at a cold temperature. Cold temperatures prevent degradation of the olive oil., be sure to store your olive oil in the coldest place in your kitchen or pantry, to keep it as fresh as the first day you got it.
