Best 9 Pasta With Roasted Fennel And Tomatoes Recipes

PASTA WITH ROASTED FENNEL AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 425°F.
• Toss the fennel with the oil in a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar. Season generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle with about 2 Tbs. water, and roast, uncovered, until the fennel is soft and starting to brown at the edges, 30 to 40 minutes. At least twice during roasting, stir and toss the fennel to promote even cooking. Scoot the fennel over to one half of the baking dish, and add the tomatoes to the empty space. Season with salt and pepper. Continue roasting, with an occasional stir, until the tomatoes have collapsed and the juices look bubbly and slightly reduced, another 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. When the pasta is done, scoop out 1 cup of the cooking water, and then drain.
• In a large bowl, toss the pasta with the fennel-tomato mixture, mozzarella, peppers, salami, and parsley. Add the cheese and 1/4 cup of the cooking water, and toss well, adding more water as needed until the pasta is very lightly cloaked in a lush sauce and the mozzarella is starting to melt. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with additional grated pecorino, if you like.

PASTA WITH ROASTED FENNEL AND TOMATOES

• Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions are tender, about 6 minutes.

ROASTED TOMATOES, SQUASH & FENNEL PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice butternut squash into few larger chunks, peel of the thick skin, then chop it into smaller cubes (cca. 1 cm thick). Transfer cubes into a larger bowl.
• Trim and wash fennel, then slice it finely. It is similar to slicing a bell pepper for a stir-fry, only in a bit smaller stripes. When finished, add it to a bowl with sliced squash.
• Turn on the oven to 180° C.
• Coat veggie mix with 1 generous tsp of salt, ½ tsp of ground pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, lime juice, and 3 tbsps of olive oil. Stir it well in order to combine all ingredients properly. For the best result, I advise you to do this part with the bare hands.
• Once you have it properly mixed and evenly coated, place all in a baking tray. My friendly advice is to use good old baking paper. During the baking process you will have to stir ingredients thoroughly several times, so that way you will save bottom of the tray, and as a bonus, make dishwashing much easier later on.
• Place the tray in the pre-heated oven, and bake veggies uncovered for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, start working on the tomato layer. Wash and chop cherry tomatoes finely. Place them in a separate bowl or a larger soup plate, together with juices. Add finely chopped garlic clove, 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tsp of salt, ½ tsps of pepper, and finely shredded basil leaves. Stir all well (with spoon or hands).
• Take the roasted vegies tray out of the oven. Uncover, add tomatoes mixture, stir all ingredients together, and continue baking uncovered for another 5 minutes.
• It is time to add final touch to the sauce. Take the tray out, coat the vegie mixture with 3 tbsps of red or white wine, stir it roughly, and place it back to the oven for another 15 minutes (uncovered).
• During this final phase, you can start boiling water for the pasta (don't forget to add 1 tbsp of salt). Cook your favourite pasta according to the package instructions. Keep tiny bit of water during the draining process (2-3 tbsps). Also, make sure you boil pasta in a larger pot as you will need some extra space to combine it with the sauce.
• Baked vegies and pasta are ready? Great, it is time to combine them into a yummy final dish! Place the pot with pasta back on the stove (minimum heat). Add roasted vegie mixture and stir ingredients well. Then add grated parmesan, stir all well again, and in under a minute, put the pot aside.
• Divide pasta mixture between the serving plates, top it up with some extra freshly grated parmesan, and off you go. Bon appetite!

PASTA WITH FENNEL AND ONIONS

• 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.
