Tagliatelle with Fennel in White Wine-Pumpkin Sauce
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
2 fennels, cored and thinly sliced
50gr fennel fronds for garnish
1/2 teaspoon salt
180ml white wine
80ml coconut milk (or cream)
1 tab Yellow Pumpkin Pesto Fresco SIPO
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
250 Tagliatelle pasta
120ml pasta water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
60gr freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Method:
In a large deep skillet, heat the EVO over moderately high-heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the fennel, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fennel has softened, about 3 minutes. Add the white wine, coconut milk (or cream), Yellow Pumpkin Pesto Fresco SIPO, and red chili flakes to the pan and bring to a gentle simmer, about 8 minutes. Turn the heat to low and keep warm.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan of salted boiling water, cook the tagliatelle until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water and drain.
Add the pasta and the reserved cooking water to the pumpkin sauce and toss over moderately low heat until coated. Add the lemon juice, parmesan, and parsley to the pasta and lightly toss to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and transfer to plates. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, sprinkle with fennel fronds and serve.
