1 Step 1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until just shy of al dente. Save 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.2 Step 2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the sausage and break it up with a spoon, cooking until browned in places, about 6 minutes.3 Step 3. Add the fennel, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the fennel softens, 4 to 5 minutes.4 Step 4. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with 1/2 cup of the pasta water, the lemon zest and juice, the Parmesan and the butter. Toss over the heat until glossy, adding more pasta water if it tightens.5 Step 5. Season with black pepper, scatter with the fennel fronds, and serve with more cheese.
Brittney's notes
Spicy sausage if the table can take it. Kale or broccoli rabe can go in with the fennel if you want something green in the same pan.
