Serve 2, Preparation 10 mins, Cooking about 20 - 25 mins

• Pasta, 180 g
• Mature Cheddar sliced, to taste
• Cherry toms, about 10
• Red onion, 1
• Wild Fennel, a couple of sprigs
• Salt and Pepper, to taste
• EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2tbsp

Method

Heat a pot of salted water and as soon as it comes to the boil, pour in the pasta of your choice. I opted for a short spelt pasta.

Thinly slice the red onion and stew it gently in 2 tablespoons of EVOO in a pan. Add a little water if necessary.

Add the whole cherry tomatoes, turn up the heat and fry for 5 minutes. Add the wild fennel, season with salt and pepper and cook until the cherry toms are soft.

Turn off the heat, add the mature cheddar and let it melt and slowly mix it to the rest of the ingredients.

Drain pasta, add it to the frying pan, stir, serve and add a few pieces of Cheddar on top.
