Step 1

Serves 6

Step 2

Heat a splash of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sausage meat, using a fork or wooden spatula to break the meat into small pieces. Allow to fry for around 10 minutes, until the sausage is nicely browned.

Step 3

Add the onion, fennel (not including the fennel tops), fennel seeds, chilli and garlic. Fry the mixture for a further 15 minutes or so.

Step 4

Add the wine, allowing the mixture to cook until the alcohol evaporates. Add the stock, season with salt and pepper, then cover the pan with a lid and simmer gently for half an hour.

Step 5

After this time, stir in the cream and fennel tops.

Step 6

Bring a pan of generously salted water to a rolling boil, before adding your chosen pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente.

Step 7

Strain the pasta, reserving a cup or so of cooking water. Add the pasta to the pan containing the sauce. Toss to combine, adding a splash of starchy cooking water as necessary to loosen the sauce.

Step 8

Serve immediately, finishing the dish with more freshly cracked black pepper and Italian hard cheese.
