Servings: 4

Ingredients

Linguine (8 ounces)
Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
Fennel bulb (1 large, thinly sliced)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Orange juice (1/2 cup, freshly squeezed)
Orange zest (1 tablespoon)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, chopped)
Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, grated)

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced fennel and sauté until it becomes soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the orange zest and freshly squeezed orange juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, allowing the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the drained linguine to the skillet and toss gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the pasta is coated with the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley on top.
