Pasta with Italian sausage, fennel and cream
In my opinion, fennel is one of the most criminally underused vegetables. Maybe it's because it's not an everyday vegetable people are familiar with. Case in point, when my 90 year old grandmother saw the fennel bulb I'd left standing on the counter, she asked if it was a bonsai tree. Whatever the reason, when cooked properly fennel is a crunchy, sweet, and utterly delicious addition to a dish. In this recipe, fennel co-stars with Italian sausage to create a satisfying bowl of pasta.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put a large pot of salted water on high heat. Put a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausages to the pan (no oil needed, they'll release oil as they cook). Fry until the sausages start to brown. If your pot of water is boiling by this point, drop in the pasta.

Add the fennel to the pan of sausages and fry for 2 minutes. Add the shallot and garlic and fry another 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and a couple of splashes of pasta cooking water and turn the heat down to low.

Fennel Pasta Fennel Pasta
I made some genovese-like fennel paste, and I was surprised at how good it was. I couldn't get domestic pine nuts, so I substituted with walnuts. Walnuts give this a good taste, too.Lightly mince the fennel before blending to make it easier to process. Aside from pasta, you can also use the paste with microwaved potatoes, stir-fried vegetables, fish, and meat dishes as well. I add garlic, since I love it, but if you don't like it, feel free to leave it out. I ran out of garlic, so I made it without it and it was still plenty delicious. Recipe by Usshi

Creamy Pasta with Wiener Sausages and Spinach Creamy Pasta with Wiener Sausages and Spinach
I've been making this creamy pasta for a long time. I rearranged the flavour to my liking based on a restaurant.Cook the spinach, divide into small portions, then freeze it to store. If the pasta feels to dry, you can drizzle in some olive oil.If you like a richer flavour, use 100 ml of milk and 150 ml of heavy cream! For 2 servings. Recipe by uzukaji -
Pasta with Shrimp and Cream Pasta with Shrimp and Cream
When I made a potage soup with shrimp heads, it was so delicious, so I wanted to try making pasta with them.When you add the sauteed flour to the sauce, it tends to form lumps, so I used a blender to smooth it out.Boil the pasta to al dente.Mix the pasta and sauce together quickly.Don't heat it for too long.Even if the sauce seems rather thin, when you transfer the pasta to the plates the consistency will be surprisingly just right.

Sausage, zucchini and mushroom pasta Sausage, zucchini and mushroom pasta
Pasta's great isn't it? It's fast, it's delicious, and it's the perfect meal to improvise whenever your original plan goes sideways. Like it did tonight, for me, when the mince I was defrosting for a pepper stuffing didn't thaw in time. Fortunately, there were mushrooms and a zucchini in the fridge, and all that was needed to transform them into a delicious dinner was a quick hop to the supermarket to pick up a little sausage and cream. In the end, despite being Plan B, the dish turned out wonderful. Meaty and rich from the sausage and mushrooms, with pops of juicy sweetness from the zucchini, and a splash of silky cream to bring it all together. It was pretty much perfect.
