I made this last night--really easy, tasty and it used up some of my garden fennel and a bunch of asparagus I needed to use! Thanks!

What a delightful one-pot meal! I used sweet onion RG chickpeas, and anelli. I love the versatility of this dish and can't wait to try variations.

I also added half a chopped onion as you suggested.

This was absolutely delish. I didn’t have fennel so I subbed yellow squash. I also used rotelli pasta. It was very tasty and easy too. I loved that it cooked in one pot.

That sounds great - I wouldn’t have thought of that but now I’ve got to try!

Dear Lucas,

This seems like a very handy recipe. Could you suggest a couple of other vegetable combos to substitute for the fennel/asparagus?

Frozen peas would work terrifically for the asparagus, or any tender spring vegetable that cooks quickly, or can be cut into small pieces and will cook quickly -- fava beans, snap peas, snow peas. And you can easily substitute half a sweet onion for the fennel.

Yum! It's erie how you keep coming up with ideas that coincide will food prep I'm already doing! 😂 I just got done soaking 250 g of Mayocoba beans in my kefir whey with kelp slices, coriander seed, garlic & a guanillo pepper (no clue how that comes out... it's another "wtf is in the cabinet" idea 🤦🏼‍♀️), and I needed an inspiration on what to do with them once soaked. PAB dish it is! (pasta, asparagus,beans 🤤) It's overcast & gray here, too; so this will be perfect! Thanks!
