1/2 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 tilapia filet
1/4 fresh fennel bulb (finely chopped)
1/3 cup half and half
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 lb. fettucine
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes
2 cups white wine
2 cloves fresh chopped garlic/salt & pepper to taste

Sweat off your fennel bulb in 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 teaspoon garlic until slightly golden.

Add sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and half and half mixture, as well as most of the parmesan cheese. Place over high heat until thickened.

While fennel bulb sweats off, boil water for pasta. Add fettucine and stir often until al dente.

Bring white wine to a low simmer.

Add tilapia filet and cover with lid.

Drain your pasta.

Put pasta in a bowl, tilapia on top of the pasta, and top with fennel cream sauce.

Enjoy!
