Instructions
- Trim the top and bottom from the fennel and roughly chop. Place it in a pan of water with a little salt, bring to a boil then reduce the het to a simmer. Cook until the fennel is tender, around 10 minutes. Remove the fennel from the water but reserve the pan of water. Allow the fennel to cool slightly before chopping finely.
- While the fennel is cooking, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet/frying pan until just slightly colored and set aside. Use the same pan to toast the breadcrumbs until dry and slightly browned. Set aside and mix through the sugar.
- Warm the oil in a medium skillet/frying pan and add the garlic. Cook for a minute then add the fennel, pine nuts, raisins, tomato paste and anchovies. Cook over a medium heat, stirring regularly, while you cook the pasta.
- Cook the pasta in the water from cooking the fennel until al dente.
- Add around ¼cup/4tbsp of the pasta water to the fennel sauce to loosen then add the cooked pasta and mix well so it is well coated by the sauce.
- Serve with the breadcrumbs scattered over the top.
