Pasta con Sarde
Saint Joseph is highly regarded by Italians and we celebrate his feast day on March 19th. Like a lot of other Italian celebrations, his feast day centers on food. A standard is the Saint Joseph’s pastry – zeppole and sfingi – made by Italian bakeries in March. Another is Pasta con Sarde, with a sauce made from saffron, fennel and fresh sardines.

Pastai – a pasta bar
Pastai means ‘pasta makers.’ The perfect restaurant for a Saint Joseph’s Day (March 19th) dinner. In addition to great appetizers, they served pasta con sarde (sardines) and sfigne de San Giuseppe, a traditional pasta dish and pastry that my Siciliana friends always had on Saint Joseph’s Day. It may not be exactly like your grandmother made but still very good. And their wine list includes some excellent Sicilian selections.
