ARUGULA AND FENNEL SALAD
Steps:
- Trim the fennel bulb and reserve the fronds. Cut the bulb in half and remove the tough inner core. Using a sharp knife or a mandolin cut the fennel into very thin slices and put them into a large bowl. Cut the onion into very thin slices and add them to the bowl. Add the arugula to the bowl and give it a good toss. Pour in the olive oil and lemon juice, season it with salt and pepper, and toss it again to coat all the ingredients; put the salad onto a large platter. Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin pieces of the Parmigiano-Reggiano and scatter them over the salad. Garnish with the reserved fennel fronds.

Steps:
- Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add pancetta and garlic; sauté until garlic is pale golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup chopped fennel fronds, fennel wedges, fennel seeds and crushed red pepper. Cover and cook until fennel wedges are soft, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add cream; cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook fettuccine in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Toss pasta with fennel mixture and enough reserved cooking water to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, passing Parmesan cheese separately.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce, and high-quality cheese and pasta.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
- Sauté the fennel and onion until softened: This will help to bring out their sweetness and flavor.
- Use a good quality white wine: The wine should be dry and have a fruity flavor. A Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio would be a good choice.
- Add the arugula at the end of cooking: This will help to preserve its delicate flavor and texture.
- Season the dish to taste: Salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese are all good options.
Conclusion:
This fettuccine with fennel and arugula is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pasta dish to try, give this one a try!
