Recipe type: Main

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 large fennel bulb, sliced finely
• 3 cloves of garlic - chopped finely
• zest and juice of one lemon
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 bok choy - ends trimmed
• freshly ground black pepper
• freshly shaved Parmesan cheese
• fennel fronds

Instructions

1. Set a pot of water to boil on the stove top
2. Warm a pan on the stove top and add the oil
3. Once the water has boiled add the pasta to cook, then drain and put back into the saucepan
4. Add the sliced fennel and garlic when the oil has warmed and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes until the fennel has softened
5. Once softened add a few generous grinds of black pepper and add the lemon juice
6. Add the bok choy and stir until it just begins to wilt
7. To the saucepan that is holding the cooked and drained fettuccine, add the fennel and bok choy and the egg yolks, stir to coat the pasta and serve with more pepper if desired, parmesan and some fennel fronds

Notes

Don't add the egg yolk until last or it will scramble and give the pasta a lumpy coating rather than a silky one.

The image below shows the bok choy on the day I added the egg shells. As you can see they regrew beautifully once they were no longer feeding the snails.  Snails dislike the sharp edges of the dried egg shells. They tend to stay away once they have been placed near the plants.
