What an interesting dish. Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights. I love bucatini but it s off the radar for a while - no multigrain version for South Beach Diets!

Thanks again for hosting last week - great job!

Wild fennel with sardines and raisin is a strange combination of bitter, salted and sweet... try it and you will love it.
