Finish the dish

I really enjoyed this dish. I’ll be honest I nearly didn’t add the fennel because I thought I didn’t like it but in the end I went with the recipe exactly as written and it was really good.

This was amazing! I actually forgot to add the Garlic so I can only imagine how much better it would be with it.  It was easy to follow and had incredible flavor.  It's a nice comforting dish.  Can't wait to make it again with all the ingredients!

Made this tonight, both myself and husband loved it, saved this recipe, very very delicious

Yum! The family gobbled this pasta right up. It has already been requested gain. :) Definitely going to double up and freeze next time as suggested.

I didn't believe the nutmeg could change the flavor but it does! Such a tiny dash brings out all the deliciousness in this pasta!

I made this last night and it was so delicious! I'm not a huge fan of cream sauces, but this one was perfect—not too rich and not too thin.

Delicious!  Just made it for dinner tonight!

I just made this and it's amazing the heat is there and the fennel  really  does it.

Wow was this delicious! So easy, so tasty, and the whole family absolutely loved it. My favorite part was that pinch of fennel.  I have requests already to make it again (and I definitely will!) Thank you for this delightful recipe.

This pasta is divine! That cream sauce is so decadent. Pretty sure I could eat it by the spoonful! I'm definitely saving this. It's absolutely worth making again.
