the flower-heads from a medium sized "broccolo" and boil them in salted
water. When half done, drain and set them aside; keep also their cooking water.

salted sardinas. Add 2 tablespoons of tomato purée thinned with little
water and let cook for 10 minuts, finally add the broccolo flower-heads. Salt,
pepper, put a lid on and allow to cook until the vegetables is slightly overdone.
At this point add 50 gms of pine-nuts, 50 gms of raisins, previously softened,
and little saffron melted in hot water. In the vegetables cooking water boil 600
gms of "bucatini" until half done, then transfer them to the pan with
the sauce. Mix and, after a few minuts, remove the pan from the flame, put a lid
on and leave to rest for 5 to 10 minuts, then serve. |  pasta
