Tagliatelle con finocchio e gamberoni (Pasta with fennel and prawns)

from Antonio Carluccio: The Collection by Antonio Carluccio

Simple and very good. But like most dishes, the quality of ingredients is paramount. The first time I did this, I used Romeo IGA fennel which had no aniseed smell or flavour, and Aldi prawns which were mediocre.

Next time I used a fennel from Woolworths which even when slicing filled the house with the smell of Fennell. I also used Woolworths frozen prawns which were excellent.

  • Butter, EVOO and garlic
  • fennel, water
  • wine (Leo Buring Riesling), lemon juice, dill springs and prawns
