Method

1. In a pot of boiling salted water, add the pasta and cook as per packet directions, retaining ½ cup of pasta water to add to the sauce later.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan and cook fennel and onion for 2 minutes, or until soft.
3. Remove meat from sausage casings in small bite-size chunks and add into the pan. Cook sausage meat, breaking up with back of a spoon occasionally for 5 - 6 minutes. Add in cooking cream and bring up to a simmer.
