Categories     Milk/Cream     Dairy     Pasta     Pork     Dinner     Parmesan     Fennel     Fall     Winter     Noodle     Bon Appétit     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, cut into matchstick-size strips
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 large fennel bulbs, fronds chopped, bulbs cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 cup whipping cream
1 pound fettuccine
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

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!
