Servings: persons

1 large bulb fennel (or two small), chopped (reserve fronds)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, small dice
1 celery stalk, small dice
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground pork
4 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons oregano
2 tablespoons fennel seeds
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 28 oz can Roma tomatoes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3/4 cup good red wine
1/4 cup cream

1
Heat large saute pan over medium high heat (you can add a little olive oil or cooking spray if you want). Add fennel, onion, garlic, carrot and celery. Cook until vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
2
Add pork and next seven ingredients (sugar through salt) and cook until pork is no longer pink, stirring well, about 7 to 10 minutes.
3
Add tomatoes, squishing with fingers (or breaking up with a wooden spoon. Personally, I like to squish). Stir in tomato paste and wine.
4
Bring to a boil then reduce heat. Simmer, partially covered, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
5
Stir in cream (or half & half). Simmer until heated through.
6
Serve over penne. Top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and garnish with fennel fronds, if desired.
