Fun with Fennel

Well, I did the spaghetti and meatball thing with dried fennel.  I am just amazed at how differently tings taste with a little herbs and spices!  The meatball recipe I had called for milk, which I do not usually add, and fennel.  I also happened to use Ragu sauce (garden variety) rather than the usual Prego because it was on sale.  Overall, it was delicious, a much different taste than we are accustomed to with spaghetti sauce.  The taste was quite sweet, but in a good way, not overly so, and the meatballs were delicious.  This would be a good recipe for company.  I think I may have to try the fresh fennel bulbs and stalks at some pointin the future.  I am anxious to see how it tastes!
