Ingredients

• 2 large fennel bulbs , trimmed
• 2 onions , peeled
• 0.5 cups extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 package linguine pasta , 16 ounce

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut fennel bulbs in half, lengthwise; remove tough cores. Thinly slice fennel bulb halves lengthwise. Slice onions in half lengthwise; thinly slice onions lengthwise.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add fennel and onions; cook and stir until onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Add wine; increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until wine has nearly evaporated and fennel and onions begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir tomatoes into fennel mixture; cook until tomatoes soften, about 3 minutes. Stir lemon juice and pine nuts into fennel mixture.

   Stir linguine into fennel mixture; stir in reserved pasta water. Cook over high heat, stirring until hot and thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Top servings with Parmesan cheese.
