Pasta with Fennel and Onions image

We took a cooking class and this is the recipe that we learned. We LOVE it! The fennel gives the flavor palette a unique twist. We combine it with Allrecipes' Grilled Sausage with Pepperonatta for a family-style feast!

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large fennel bulbs
2 onions
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup white wine
1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
4 roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 lemons, juiced
¼ cup pine nuts
1 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Trim fennel bulbs, cut in half lengthwise, and remove tough cores. Thinly slice fennel bulb halves lengthwise. Peel onions, slice in half lengthwise, and thinly slice onions lengthwise.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir fennel and onions until onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Pour in white wine, turn heat up to medium-high, and cook, stirring often, until the wine has nearly evaporated and fennel and onions begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain and keep warm. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water.
  • Stir tomatoes into the fennel mixture and cook until the tomatoes soften, about 3 minutes. Mix lemon juice and pine nuts into the vegetables.
  • Stir linguine into the fennel mixture and mix in reserved pasta water. Cook pasta and vegetables over high heat, stirring until hot and thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Serve in a large serving bowl topped with Parmesan cheese.

This pasta dish was delicious! The fennel and onions were a great combination and the lemon zest really brightened up the flavors. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a good recipe, but it was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I would have preferred a recipe that was a bit quicker to make.

This pasta dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper. The fennel and onions were also a bit too overpowering. I think I would have preferred a more subtle flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of fennel, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The fennel was actually really good in this dish, and the onions and lemon zest really balanced out the flavors. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a great recipe! I used whole wheat pasta and it turned out great. The fennel and onions were a nice touch, and the lemon zest really brightened up the flavors. I will definitely be making this again.
