MamaMancini’s Turkey Meatballs, Pasta, and Fennel

Fennel is an underrated vegetable that few people utilize in their everyday cooking. Although it looks like a combination between an onion and a head of lettuce, the flavor is very similar to licorice or anise, and adds a hint of tangy essence that is sure to spice up any pasta and meatball dish.

Serves: 4-6

Cooking time: 23-30 minutes

Ingredients

– ½ box spaghetti

– 1 tbs olive oil

– 1/2 fennel bulb (julienned)

– pinch of salt

– 1 box Mama Mancini’s Turkey Meatballs and Sauce

Directions

Boil water and cook pasta until al dente (approximately 8 minutes). Strain and set aside.

Heat 1 tbs olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Saute julienned fennel bulb for approximately 10 minutes or until browned.

Slice turkey meatballs in half and pour into pan, with sauce. Stir and heat for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Remove saucepan from heat and, in a large bowl, combine with pasta. Stir and serve.
