Preparation 5 minutes preparation + 40 minutes cooking
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide pan over medium heat and sauté 2 peeled garlic cloves, a few tablespoons of cold water, 1 pinch of saffron (dissolved in a very small amount of water), salt and pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes.
Wash, bone and fillet sardines and add, cooking for 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat, discard garlic cloves and set aside. Soak raisins in warm water for 20 minutes and drain. Wash, clean and bone anchovies. Crush them in a mortar with parsley and a ladleful of warm water.
Heat the remaining oil in a pan, sauté remaining peeled garlic clove and finely chopped onion until golden. Add chopped wild fennel, raisins, pine nuts and the anchovy/parsley mixture. Cook over moderate heat for 5 minutes.
Boil pasta in plenty of salted water according to package directions. Drain and arrange in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Cover with a layer of sauce and sardines and continue this process, ending with a layer of sauce. Alternative pasta shape: Rotini.
