Bigoli with sardines<\/strong><\/h4>\n

One of the oldest traditional dishes of Lake Garda, \u2018Bigoi con le sardele<\/em>\u2019 (as it is called in the local dialect), is an extremely tasty first course whose main ingredient is one of the characteristic fish of Lake Garda, sardines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bigoi’ are a variety of fresh pasta, similar to spaghetti but thicker, which are prepared with durum wheat flour and water. The \u2018sardele\u2019, on the other hand, are the sardines of Lake Garda, a fish much appreciated for its delicate flavour and soft texture.<\/p>\n

The preparation of \u2018Bigoi con le sardele\u2019 involves the use of a tasty and aromatic sauce made of olive oil, pine nuts, sultanas and onion, which perfectly binds the pasta to the fish.<\/p>\n
