O cină italiană rafinată și gata în mai puțin de 25 de minute. Feliile fragede de fenicul sunt caramelizate ușor în ulei de măsline și unt până capătă o dulceață irezistibilă, învăluite de prospețimea cojii de lămâie, un strop de fulgi de chili și parmezan din belșug. Rapid, simplu și spectaculos de aromat!
Preparation method
Preparing the ingredients
Wash the fennel bulbs, trim the woody base, and slice them thinly lengthwise. Reserve the delicate green fronds for the final garnish.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly. Finely zest the lemon and squeeze two tablespoons of fresh juice. Finely chop the fresh parsley.
Cooking the pasta and caramelizing the fennel
Bring a large pot of water with a teaspoon of sea salt to a boil. When the water comes to a boil, add the tagliatelle and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (about 7-8 minutes). Reserve a cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
Chef's tip
The salted pasta water is the secret to a perfect sauce: the starch in it helps the butter and parmesan form a silky, glossy emulsion without needing cream.
For extra crunchy texture, you can finish by adding a tablespoon of pine nuts lightly toasted in a dry pan.
