Enjoy Chef Lorenzo’s take on this traditional Italian holiday pasta recipe. Often referred to as "St. Joseph's Day" pasta, this Spaghetti recipe with Bread Crumbs, Raisins and Red Onion originates from the Italian region of Sicily. The breadcrumbs in this dish are meant to represent sawdust, as St. Joseph was a carpenter, and the rest of the simple ingredients are paired together purposefully to create a mild nutty, but sweet flavor profile in this dish.
