Method
- Gather and prep everything first: dried pasta, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
- Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the fennel bulb and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat up, add the bolognese, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
- Fold in the parmesan and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
- Off the heat, brighten it up with a drizzle of olive oil and a final crack of pepper.
- Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
