Puttanesca Noodles with tamarind glaze

Method

1. Start by prepping your dried pasta, olive oil, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fennel bulb in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the puttanesca, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the goat cheese along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with toasted nuts and a final crack of pepper.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
