Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Weigh pasta and couscous dry. Cook pasta in 1200 ml boiling water for its package time; reserve 150 ml and drain. Cover couscous with remaining 270 ml boiling water for 5–10 minutes or its package time, then fluff.

  2. Step 2

    Thinly slice fennel and onion, chop rosemary and parsley. Heat olive oil in a large lidded pan over medium heat. Cook onion and fennel for 8 minutes; add rosemary and 100 ml reserved water, cover and cook gently for 8–10 minutes until fennel is tender.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce to low heat and stir in ricotta and remaining reserved water. Fold in pasta and couscous and warm for 2–3 minutes without boiling. Stir in parsley and serve.
