For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the sauce while it simmers. Fresh herbs like basil or parsley, chopped and sprinkled on top before serving, will enhance the dish's aroma and visual appeal. If prawns are not available, feel free to substitute with shrimp or even small pieces of white fish for a similar taste and texture.

01
Step
10 mins
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 10 minutes; drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the water.
02
Step
3 mins
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Saute fennel, zucchini, celery, shallots, garlic, and red pepper in hot oil until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes; add prawns and continue to cook until prawns have changed color, about 1 minute per side.
03
Step
12 mins
Pour tomato puree over the vegetables; add fennel seed and stir. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are slightly tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir reserved water from boiling the pasta into the sauce mixture. Season sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour sauce and vegetable mixture over the drained pasta, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, and stir to coat.
