Ingredients
  • 6 ounces dried spinach fettuccine, plain fettuccine, or linguine pasta
  • 1/2 of a small fennel bulb
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2/3 cup fresh snow pea pods, trimmed and bias cut
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onion

Directions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; return pasta to pan.

2. Trim fennel, reserving enough of the green fronds to make 3 tablespoons when snipped; set aside. Thinly slice fennel bulb half and the first 2 inches of stalks. Discard the remaining stalks. Stir together the chicken broth and cornstarch in a small bowl; set aside.

3. Heat oil in a medium saucepan. Cook shrimp and sliced fennel in hot oil over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until shrimp are just cooked through; add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Add wine; simmer mixture until liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon.

4. Add broth mixture to saucepan. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until sauce is thickened and bubbly. Remove pan from heat; stir in pea pods and green onion.

5. Toss shrimp mixture with pasta and orange pieces. Arrange on individual pasta plates. Sprinkle with reserved snipped fennel fronds. Makes 4 servings.
