Author Notes

Sausage & Fennel Seed Pasta is a current favourite in the FatLadFood household, as it is a beautiful mix of good old fashioned sausages, with the aniseed flavour of the Fennel Seed.

I first had this recipe at Jamie Italian in Liverpool, and as reviewed, it was a bit watery, so I didn’t get the full jist of what it was meant to be.

So I have worked on it, changed it, messed with it and then perfected it, and here it is for you to try. —FatLadFood
