Doesn't that look delicious?Everyone knows that I am a huge Rachael Ray fan and often times I do not follow her recipes exactly, but use a recipe in order to gain ideas of something different to make. I came across a recipe for Fennel and Onion Spaghetti and I thought that the combo sounded really good. My parents used fennel in cooking as a kid and I remember liking fennel, but I don't think that I have ever cooked with it as an adult. So i bought a bulb of fennel (which was kinda pricey $3.99 and I used it all in one meal-is that a normal price for fennel?) and I had everything else on hand to make it.
If you noticed in the title that the word Spaghetti was crossed out, well here is why. I went to pull out the box of spaghetti and I ended up dumping the entire box on the floor. Oops. I had a box of whole wheat penne and I really liked the whole wheat pasta in this recipe. I caramelized the onion and fennel and then I added some chicken sausage (since my hubby likes meat in his dinner) and put it all together with the penne. I topped it with a few fennel fronds, because it looks pretty, but neither one of us really liked the texture of the uncooked fennel fronds along with the rest of the meal.What are new foods that you are cooking with?
