    In a 12" to 14" saute pan, heat olive oil over
    medium high heat until just smoking. Add onion,
    currants, pine nuts, anchovies and red pepper and cook
    until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add sardine
    fillets and fennel leaves and continue cooking 3 to 4
    minutes, until fish pieces have just cooked, stirring

    instructions until just al dente and drain well. Toss
    hot pasta into pan with sardines and stir to coat. Add
    1/4 cup toasted bread crumbs and parsley. Stir through
    and serve immediately. Sprinkle with remaining bread
    crumbs.
