Fettuccine with beef and fennel rose sauce
This is my spin on a classic pasta dish. I caramelized the ground beef to start, for extra flavour and to avoid any mushiness. I also added the fennel near the end of cooking, to maintain it's crunch. And, because the wife prefers creamy sauces, I added a splash of cream to turn the sauce rose. It was a hit.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add a splash of olive oil to a large pan on medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and fry for about 5 minutes, until the meat's browned and starting to crisp. Break the beef up with a spatula as it cooks.
- 2
Add the garlic and shallot to the pan and cook 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and continue frying another 2 minutes. Add the fennel, and fry another 1 minute.
- 3
Add a splash of water to the pan to stop the frying. Pour in the passata and let simmer for 3 minutes. Add a good pinch of salt and several grinds of freshly cracked black pepper.
- 4
Cook the pasta about 1 minute short of the package directions. You can do this step the same time you're making the sauce. Once the pasta's ready, stir the cream into the sauce and give it a final test for seasoning. Drag the noodles into the pan of sauce and toss to coat. Add pasta cooking water as needed to loosen the sauce. Serve with a topping of freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Pork tenderloin with orange and fennel sauce Pork tenderloin with orange and fennel sauce
Pork tenderloin is a great ingredient. It's inexpensive, so it doesn't blow up your grocery budget (not a small thing these days). One or two loins easily satisfies several people. And, cooked properly, it's a succulent and juicy cut of meat. It also has a relatively neutral flavour, which means you can jazz it up pretty much any way you want. Spices, herbs, and fruit all work. I chose the latter two for this dish, and made a glaze/sauce from everyday orange juice spiked with a spoonful of fennel seeds. Sweet, tangy, with a slight herbal warmth. Nice.

Beef and cauliflower with creamy parmesan sauce Beef and cauliflower with creamy parmesan sauce
While shopping for ingredients for tonight's planned dinner of beef and broccoli, my wife made the highly unusual request that I not make it Asian-style. Pardon me?! How does that work? Instead of going nuts trying to figure it out, I chose to keep my sanity and went another direction. Bye-bye went the broccoli and soy-based sauce, and in went the cauliflower and rosemary-infused parmesan cream. The challenge was met, and pretty tastily so. -
Beef with Cream Sauce Beef with Cream Sauce
I ate a Swiss dish for the first time at my friend's house in Switzerland. The friend gave me a Swiss recipe book, so I tried to cook the same dish I had eaten.This dish is called 'Zürcher Geschnetzeltes' in Switzerland. The original is veal with cream sauce. Serving it with Rösti, Swiss hash brown potatoes, is the most standard way. Season the beef and sauce well, and the dish will be more delicious. This dish is good for pasta sauce too.

Beef Filet with Green Peppercorn Sauce Beef Filet with Green Peppercorn Sauce
I sautéed beef filet and added green peppercorn cream sauce. The tartness of the green peppercorns matches well with the creamy sauce. I served it with arugula.The important thing here is how much you cook the beef. If the piece of beef you have is thick, bring to room temperature first. If it's still cold when you cook it, the surface will be cooked but the inside may stay cold. The amounts of wine and cream are approximate. The important part is the consistency of the finished sauce. Recipe by valentino
