Pasta Con Le Sarde Recipe- Sicilian Pasta with Sardines and Wild Fennel- Paleo and Cheapskate Versions
In many ways I like to think I’m a creative cook, but there are some flavors that I would never dream of pairing together- I don’t come up with creative flavor combinations, and am often afraid of experimenting with new flavor combinations, because what if it comes out bad.
