I will be making this later tonight. But I intend using mascarpone instead of cream. I hope you do not disapprove.

It was very good. For my own taste I grated some lemon zest over it and squeezed the juice of half a lemon into it.

Oh! I have been a big baby about fennel. I may have to give up my biases and give this a go. Maybe add an anchovy or two?

What a fabulous idea! I love fennel but usually roast it. Such a great idea to caramelise it in a pan!

In my Italian family, we always had fennel after holiday meals as a digestive. I love eating it that way and never thought of roasting or sautéing. Something new on my list! Tkx!!!

This inspired me to take the sad fennel from the back of the fridge and make a pasta sauce too. I didn’t have cream so I used egg yolk and parm (carbo style) with a little feta and it was so delicious!
