Procedures
This pasta dish it’s quite simple to make, but it has got an unique flavour.
To start with, wash and slice the fennel really finely. Then cook it for 5 minutes in a pan with the garlic cloves, extra virgin olive oil, and salt.
Toast the hazelnuts with a bit of salt in a different pan.
When the fennel is cooked, mix it up with the lemon juice and a bit of water. Blend everything together and you will get a creamy pesto.
Crush the hazelnuts and keep a few whole for the final decoration.

When the pasta is ready, mix all the ingredients well together in a pan and dish it up.

Decorate the dish with a bit of dill and the whole hazelnuts you kept on the side.
