Ingredients
1
tbsp
olive oil
1
fennel bulb
finely sliced
3
cloves
garlic
minced
1
shallot
finely sliced
200
ml

Freshly cracked black pepper
1/4

~300g
trofie or pasta of choice
reserve some of the pasta cooking water
Pecorino/parmesan
Instructions
Sauté the minced garlic in olive oil on a medium low heat for around 1 minute or until lightly golden
Add the shallots and fennel and continue to sauté for a further 3-4 minutes or until both have softened
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream, salt, black pepper and nutmeg and simmer on low heat for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavours to mingle
Then add in the mustard and simmer for a further minute
Add in pasta and a splash of pasta water, mix to combine
Cover your pan and simmer for a further minute on low heat. This will allow the sauce to emulsify and coat the trofie/pasta
Garnish with grated pecorino/parmesan and a pinch of ground nutmeg
Notes
If serving along with sides, this can definitely be stretched to serve 3.
