Pasta with Fennel and Onions

A flavorful pasta dish with sautéed fennel and onions, enhanced with white wine and fresh tomatoes, topped with pine nuts and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

  • fennel bulbs (2 )
  • onions (2 )
  • extra-virgin olive oil (0.5 cup)
  • white wine (1 cup)
  • linguine pasta (1 package)
  • roma tomatoes (4 )
  • lemons (2 )
  • pine nuts (0.25 cup)
  • Parmesan cheese (1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Trim fennel bulbs; cut in half, lengthwise, and remove tough cores. Thinly slice fennel bulb halves lengthwise. Peel onions; slice in half lengthwise, and thinly slice onions lengthwise.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir fennel and onions until onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Pour in white wine, turn heat up to medium-high, and cook, stirring often, until wine has nearly evaporated and fennel and onions begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain and keep warm. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water.
  4. Stir tomatoes into fennel mixture and cook until tomatoes soften, about 3 minutes. Mix lemon juice and pine nuts into vegetables.
  5. Stir linguine into fennel mixture and mix in reserved pasta water. Cook pasta and vegetables over high heat, stirring until hot and thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Serve in a large serving bowl topped with Parmesan cheese.
