Sautee onions & garlic. Add bite-size pieces of hot Italian sausage, a
little white wine, cover & cook until the sausage is done. Add chopped
tomatoes, cover for five more minutes. Add slices or chunks of fennel and
simmer until about as tender as you'd cook broccoli.

While you were doing all this, you would've been cooking pasta so it was
done at the same time the fennel was ready. Linguine seems to work well with
this.
