Background

This is wonderfully easy and tasty pasta recipe. It can be gluten-free if you use appropriate pasta and, if you don't serve it with cheese, vegan and super healthy. It's ready in 15 minutes, so it's a perfect meal on busy days.

Ingredients

1 large fennel bulb
1 Tbsp olive oil
200g spaghetti
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ tsp saffron or turmeric powder
Zest and juice of half a lemon
1 small bunch parsley
Grated Parmesan (optional)

Instructions

Remove the woody end of the fennel, then slice thinly. Heat the oil in a frying pan and, at low temperature, simmer the fennel slices for about 10 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile add the spaghetti to a saucepan of boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain and keep it warm in the pan under the lid. Keep a cupful of the cooking water.
Add the chopped garlic, saffron, lemon zest & juice to the fennel. Season with salt & pepper then turn up the heat and cook for about a minute. Stir in the spaghetti and, if necessary, add a drop of oil and/or the cooking water. Warm through.
Chop the parsley and stir this into the pasta.
Serve with grated Parmesan sprinkled on top if you like.

Tips

You can also serve this as a side dish with grilled fish or meat!
