Fennel and Sausage Radiatori Pasta

So this is cool.

A healthy pasta using a natural sourdough culture! Perfect for this easy pasta dish to add more depth of flavour when combined with our 'must-have' Mary blend.

Pasta Fermentata is a delicious, easy-to-digest, and highly nutritious alternative to regular wheat pasta. They take inspiration from the age-old practice of fermentation to make sourdough bread.

Feel free to use regular whole wheat pasta in substitution, but we highly recommend trying this out!

There is something so comforting about a sausage pasta dish; layered with flavour and healthy vegetables. Spring is coming any day now, but our comforting pasta's are getting us through the yo-yo weather to brighter days.

Mary Had a Lot of Lamb is showing its versatility in ever season - from winter pasta to summer salad dressings. You really need to try it, taste what your food is missing.

Fennel and Sausage Radiatori Pasta

Ingredients

  • Sour dough radiatori Pasta (you can use regular pasta if you can’t find sour dough, or a fusilli)

  • 1 fennel bulb, bulb thinly sliced, fronds diced and reserved

  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Mary Had a Lot of Lamb
  • 12 oz Italian style sausage, casings removed
  • 1 cup coarsely grated parmesan cheese, plus more to serve

  • 1 lemon, juiced

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil with a generous amount of sea salt. Add the pasta and cook according to directions. Strain over top a heat proof container and reserve about 2 cups of pasta water.

  2. In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat. Add the sausage, breaking up as it cooks. Cook until beginning to brown.

  3. Add in the fennel bulb, garlic, Mary Had a Lot of Lamb and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Cook until the fennel is soft. About 8-10 minutes. Add more of the reserved pasta water if the pan is looking dry before the fennel has softened.

  4. Stir in the pasta and add in about ½ cup of the reserved pasta water. Cook until liquid has absorbed and starting to thicken and cling to the the pasta to form a sauce. Add more pasta water if needed.

  5. Stir in parmesan and lemon juice before serving.

I wasn't sure what to do with this...

I got one jar of this, and didn't know what to do with it. It was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to try to miss it while making the beef.
I would have to say that it ended up working, and I found my tacos were enhanced.

Big Cove Made It To The Caribbean!!!

My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕

Great hostess gifts!

These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)

Flavourful Blend

I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!

Found in Baddeck. Making Food taste great in Toronto

Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.

Ghost Taco spice blend
Best Taco Blend!

My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.

On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!

Hard to pick just one

What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
