  Delicious, hearty veggie spaghetti dish. First time when I cooked fennel bulb. Kept the juice & seeds from the tomatoes too.

  Wonderfully easy and ever so tasty summery pasta dish - unusual and would use for a special meal for friends in the future. It fed 5 people in our house. I would suggest boiling the spag while gently frying the fennel to make it even quicker. Used grated parmasan as had no other cheese and it worked fine. Will make it again for sure!

  Simple, summery dish, very easy and quick to make. It's five stars for me because my small children absolutely loved it, and all finished their plates, which doesn't happen every night!

  I found this a bit boring but I think that was because I think ricotta is a bit tasteless. Will try again though, but with a more flavoursome cheese.
