How to make penne with fennel, tomato and blue cheese

  • Slice the fennel thinly, then cut the slices into strips.
  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
  • Add the pasta and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small saucepan.
  • Add the fennel and shallot and cook for 2 to 3 minutes over high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the passata, sugar and oregano.
  • Cover the pan and simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes, until the fennel is tender.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

  • The anise flavour of the fennel makes it the perfect partner for tomato, especially when topped with blue cheese.
