INSTRUCTIONS
1998
St. Joseph's sauce: Heat 2 T. olive oil in large pot. Saute 5 cloves
of chopped garlic + a pinch of red pepper flakes. Add 2 cups chopped
fresh fennel. Add 2 cups crushed tomatoes and 2 T. paste, 1 T. chopped
fresh basil. Cover and let simmer 30 minutes until fennel is very
tender. Then add 4 cans of drained, skinless, and boneless sardines.
Simmer just a few more minutes. Topping: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive
oil. Add 1 cup fine breadcrumbs (homemade or fresh from a bakery, not
pre-packaged such as Colonna's). Cook over low heat until golden
brown. Cook pasta, top with sauce, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Traditional breadcrumb-covered pasta is as important as desserts for
this special feast day. Mamma Giglio made it annually for her family.
[Mamma Giglio died near Valentine's Day 1998. Her loved ones submitted
her recipe and it's here as a tribute in honor of Mamma.] Posted to
