Time 50m

Yield 8 first-course servings or 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 pound Italian sausage
2 medium onions, peeled and cut into chunks
2 small fennel bulbs, fennel fronds removed, cored, and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 (14-ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes and their juice
1 cup uncooked small pasta such as tubetinni
1 (14-ounce) can canellinni beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup loosely packed, roughly chopped Italian parsley leaves
Coarse ground salt and cracked pepper
Pasta Morph, recipe follows
1 pound pasta, cooked to al dente, reserve 1 cup cooking water
Reserved sausage, onion, and fennel mixture
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan

Steps:

Remove the sausage from the casing. Place in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Turn heat to medium, cook, stirring constantly until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess fat. Add onions, fennel, garlic and fennel seeds, toss to combine. Cover and cook, stirring every few minutes until fennel and onions begin to soften, about 12 to 15 minutes. At this point remove 1/2 of the mixture and reserve it for the Pasta Morph.
Add chicken broth and tomatoes to the remaining sausage/fennel mixture. Break tomatoes apart with spoon. Bring to a boil, add pasta. Bring back to boil again, reduce to a strong simmer. Cook 8 minutes or until pasta is almost done. Add cannelinni beans and parsley. Cook until flavors have come together and pasta is cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Toss the pasta and reserved sausage mixture in a large bowl. Add heated pasta water, a little at a time, until a sauce consistency is achieved. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with bread crumbs and cheese.

Tips:

Prep your ingredients beforehand: Dicing, chopping, and measuring everything before you start cooking will ensure the process runs smoothly.
Use a large skillet or pot: To prevent overcrowding and ensure that all the ingredients cook evenly.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions: Check the recommended cooking time and ensure you don't overcook it.
Drain the pasta al dente: This means slightly firm to the bite, as it will continue cooking in the sauce.
Don't rinse the pasta: Rinsing removes the starch, which helps the sauce adhere to it.
Reserve some pasta water: This can be added to the sauce to create a creamy consistency.
Use fresh herbs and spices: They add vibrant flavor and aroma to the dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs and grated cheese: This adds an extra touch of flavor and color to the pasta.
