Rigatoni with Sun-Dried Tomato and Fennel Sauce Recipe image

Provided by á-1228

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped fennel (about 1/2 medium bulb)
2 medium cloves garlic, very coarsely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup lower salt chicken broth
1/3 cup drained oil-packed sun dried tomatoes, very coarsely chopped
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 Tbs. Pernod (optional)
1 lb. dried rigatoni

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a 10-11 inch straight sided saute pan over M heat. Add the fennel and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fennel starts to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup water and the cream, chicken broth, sun-dried tomatoes, pepper flakes, and 1 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer briskly, uncovered, until the tomatoes are plump and soft, about 15 minutes Remove from the heat and stir in the Pernod, if using. Let cool slightly and then puree in a blender until smooth. Wipe out the skillet, return the sauce to the skillet, season to taste with salt, and keep hot. Cook the rigatoni until just barely al dente, 1 to 2 minutes less than package instructions. Drain well and return to the pot. Add the sauce and toss over medium low heat for a minute or two so the pasta finished cooking and absorbs some of the sauce.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of red pepper flakes next time I make it.

The sauce was a bit too thin for my taste. I think I'll add a bit more flour next time I make it.
