Fennel and Italian Sausage Pasta

Fennel and Italian Sausage Pasta


This Fennel and Italian Sausage Pasta is a delight. This is the first time I try this combo. Mathieu had seconds and thirds. This recipe is definitively a keeper. While visiting a blog that I cherish a lot: La Table de Nana, I read about this recipe that she had prepared. This pasta dish was on our table for Dinner, last night, and was ready in 20 minutes. We love those quick, full of flavors meals.

Josée di Stasio know as A la di Stasio studied communications, has great interest in photography, was an art director of ad campaigns for magazines such as Châtelaine, En Route and Elle Québec. Also worked in television advertising as culinary stylist and after that as set designer. She then got involved in art direction, research and coordination for various television and radio programs. At that point, she met Daniel Pinard, and worked with him first as chronicler and later as co-host for his program Ciel mon Pinard. Then followed Les pieds dans les plats, in which she was co-host. Now, she’s the single host of the À la di Stasio show, on Télé-Québec, which is an occasion for her to passionately enjoy her love for cuisine.

Josée's cooking is simple and elegant. Her roots are Italian and it reflects in her cooking. True flavours comes out of her dishes, like this Fennel and Italian Sausage Pasta.

Josée di Stasio's award winning Italian cuisine cookbook 'à la di Stasio' first published in French, is now available in English for the first time.

I've made a similar pasta (without peppers) from Jamie Oliver. It is truly a great combination! :)

I made fennel for the first time last week...I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll have to try this with a veggie Italian sausage. Thanks for posting.

Yes I did see this recipe from La Table de Nana's blog. Fantastic. I always think a great testament to a great recipe is when people make it as well. I have never heard of Josee di Stasio before but I am quite intrigued about this cookbook now!

The pasta is quick, it's tasy and I love sweet red peppers.

Yummy recipe. I saw this on her site and copied it. Love how speedy it is.
Fennel is a favorite around here, although I have never cared for it raw in a salad. My favorite way is roasted.

lisa said...

The fennel and peppers sound great in this! I love a quick pasta meal.

gratinee said...

What a lovely combo. I will have to try it. Love fennel, love sausage. Don't know why I hadn't thought to put fennel in pasta. I always serve it as a starter.

The Duo Dishes said...

Perfect combo. Most sausage already has fennel seeds in it, so the two work well.

Angie's Recipes said...

That's flavourful pasta dish! I love fennel!

My Carolina Kitchen said...

I love her blog too and am a follower. This pasta sounds fantastic, especially with the sausage. Perfect for winter.

I think that this would be a big hit here as well. It's so pretty and colorful, isn't it? It would be such fun to have Mathieu and Matthew sitting down to this and seeing which one could put more of this away and still walk! LOL. Pasta is a big hit with sports guys. Hockey is a very strenuous sport!
