Ingredients

  • 2½ tbsp olive oil
  • 6 cut into 1.5cm-thick slices Italian fennel sausages
  • 1 large peeled and chopped onion
  • 1 trimmed and roughly chopped; reserve any fronds to garnish fennel bulb
  • ½ tsp smoky paprika
  • 1 clove
  • peeled and sliced garlic
  • 2 tsp lightly toasted and then gently crushed fennel seeds
  • 100ml red wine
  • 400g tinned chopped tomatoes
  • ½ tsp caster sugar
  • 50g cut in half lengthways pitted black olives
  • 500g rigatoni
  • 30g roughly crumbled into 0.5cm pieces pecorino
  • 1 rinsed and patted dry anchovy fillet
  • 1 clove
  • peeled and crushed garlic
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 50g torn basil leaves

Instructions

1
fiery up a tablespoon of fat in a large saute pot for which you have a lid.
2
empty in the sausage pieces and sauté on a medium-high fiery up for 10 moments, stirring regularly, until golden-brown all over.
3
Transfer the sausages to a plate, then empty in the bulb veggie and fennel to the fiery pot and sauté for 15 moments, stirring once in a while, until soft and caramelised; if the pot goes a bit dehydrated, empty in a teaspoon or so of extra fat.
4
mix gently in the paprika, garlic and half the fennel seeds, sauté for two moments more, then empty on the wine and bring to a stew for 30 seconds, to reduce by half.
5
empty in the tomatoes, granulated sugar, 100ml moisture, the seared sausage and half a teaspoon of table salt, wrap and stew for 30 moments; remove the lid after 10 moments, and stew until the condiment dip is thick and hearty.
6
Remove from the fiery up, mix gently through the olives and remaining fennel seeds and set aside until you’re ready to present.
7
Bring a large pot of salted moisture to a bring to a stew, empty in the pasta and stew for 12-14 moments (or according to the procedure on the packet), until al dente.
8
Meanwhile, reheat the condiment dip.
9
sieve the pasta, return it to the pot, mix gently in a tablespoon of fat, then divide between the bowls.
10
Put all the pesto elements except the basil in the small dish of a food processor.
11
empty in a tablespoon of moisture and blitz to a rough paste.
12
empty in the basil, then blitz until just combined (the pesto has a much better texture if the basil is not overblended).
13
Spoon over the ragù and top with a spoonful of pesto.
14
Finish with a sprinkling of minced fennel fronds, if you have any, and present at once.
