Provided by cookinwithmom

Categories     Side Dish

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the more flavorful the dish will be. Look for ripe fennel bulbs with bright green fronds, peppery arugula, and firm, plump shrimp.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to cook it just until it turns pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Toast the fennel seeds: Toasting the fennel seeds will bring out their nutty flavor. Be sure to toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan constantly to prevent them from burning.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: A good quality olive oil will add a rich, fruity flavor to the dish. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is made from 100% Italian olives.
  • Finish the dish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or chives, will add a bright, fresh flavor to the dish. Chop the herbs finely before adding them to the pasta.

Conclusion:

This fettuccine with fennel and arugula is a light, flavorful pasta dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The fennel and arugula add a refreshing crunch and peppery flavor, while the shrimp add a briny richness. The dish is finished with a simple vinaigrette that ties all the flavors together. If you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish that is sure to impress, give this recipe a try.
