Fennel Spaghetti and Herbs

Serves Four

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 large fennel bulb, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
  • 1 tables spoon lemon zest, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
  • 1/2 pound spaghetti (whatever you can eat)
  • Heat sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add oil, sauté the garlic and fennel until soft, about five minutes. Pour in the stock and add parsley and lemon zest, bring this to a boil, then back down to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and remove from heat.

    Cook your pasta in your approved water, drain and reserve 1/2 cup liquid.

    Remove the cover from your fennel and turn heat up to medium-high and continue cooking until the liquid is absorbed. Toss the pasta in and mix well. Add the remainder of the pasta liquid 1/4 cup at a time if too dry. Sprinkle with more parsley and serve!
