Author Notes
I adapted this from Martha Stewart's One Pan Pasta. I eliminated the basil. I changed the amount of onion and garlic. I changed the pasta to fettucini ( because that is what I had, I think I would have preferred the linguine). I added fennel, dried oregano, white wine and cream. I sauted the onion and fennel first. I read in the comments where some else had done this and I liked the idea. I got the idea for this because one of my favorite things to make is braised fennel with cream and Parmesan and that maybe I could work it into this recipe. —Karen Jones
