Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and cook the fennel and onion for 10 mins, stirring occasionally until softened. Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the spaghetti for 10 mins until al dente.

  • step 2

    When the fennel and onion mixture has softened, stir in the chilli flakes, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Add the tomato purée and cook briefly, stirring all the time.

  • step 3

    Drain the pasta, reserving a mugful (around 250ml) of the cooking water. Stir the seafood into the tomato sauce and warm through. Toss the spaghetti into the sauce with the parsley and just enough of the reserved cooking water to loosen. Season and serve.

Delicious!

The final product is greatly enhanced by a splash of dry white wine during the cooking process - which means it requires little or no pasta water at the end

I LOVE this recipe. So tasty and so easy to make. We had it for tea again today. I only had about 50g of fresh fennel so just ground up a teaspoon of fennel seeds and added to pan to give that fennel taste. I used a large onion to add the bulk of the missing fennel bulb.
