This dish is a well-known delicacy in the Sicilian region of Italy, and my version is a step up from my humble beginnings in Venezuela. Despite sardines being considered a cheap food option in my country, they are actually a great source of protein, healthy fats, and valuable nutrients. So, don't let anyone tell you that something is not good enough just because of its reputation. Embrace the beauty of simple things, and turn them into something extraordinary, just like this marvelous and tasty Easy Pasta With Sardines Recipe.
