Fresh fennel is so delicious and Pernod, aside from being a perfect digestif, packs the same anise flavor at deeper, more intense level. Together, fennel and Pernod bring their wonderful flavors to Fennel Pernod Pasta Sauce; their intensity is nicely balanced by the acidity of the fresh tomatoes. Silky Fennel Pernod Pasta Sauce is perfect over fettuccine, spaghetti or angel hair pasta or shirataki noodles. We used shirataki fettuccine in the photos below, as we are both following the keto diet, and it was delicious! As a fun aside, Vito grew up enjoying fennel as a snack while Jan first enjoyed fennel when it was offered to him by a waitress at an Italian restaurant when he attended college in Massachusetts!
