• Spray the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish with olive oil.
• Lay the fennel slices in the dish, making sure that all the pieces are touching the bottom so that they roast rather than steam when they're cooking.
• Sprinkle with the salt and pepper, then with the Parmesan.
• Drizzle with the olive oil and bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees F, until the fennel is tender and the Parmesan is golden brown.
• Transfer roasted fennel to serving platter, sprinkle with the 2 teaspoons chopped reserved fennel fronds, and serve.

BAKED FENNEL WITH PARMESAN AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Boil 3 fennel bulbs, trimmed and split lengthwise, until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain fennel, cut side down, on paper towels, 5 minutes. Place fennel, cut side up, in a buttered 8-inch square baking dish and brush with 1 tablespoon softened butter. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper and top with 1/3 cup grated Parmesan and 4 sprigs thyme. Bake until cheese is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

ROASTED FENNEL WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the stems of the fennel and slice the bulb in half lengthwise. With the cut side down, slice the bulb vertically into 1/2-inch-thick slices, cutting right through the core. Spread the fennel slices on a baking sheet, coat with olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss with your hands.
• Roast the fennel slices for about 1 hour, turning them once after 30 minutes, until the edges are crisp and brown. Remove from the oven and cover with Parmesan shavings. Taste for salt and pepper and serve.

PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO WITH FRESH FENNEL

Steps:

• Pry off bite-size chunks of cheese with a Parmigiano-Reggiano knife or the point of a small sharp stiff knife and put on a platter.
• Trim fennel, discarding stalks and outer layer if bruised. Halve bulbs lengthwise and core, then cut into 1/4-inch-wide slivers.
• Just before serving, tuck clusters of fennel among cheese chunks.

FENNEL AND PARMIGIANO

Steps:

• Wash the fennel bulb and remove leaves and top; slice off bottom of bulb. Slice bulb thinly and cut into julienne strips.
• Remove very thin slices from wedge of cheese with slicer. Crumble; add to fennel in serving bowl.
• Sprinkle oil and lemon juice over fennel and cheese and stir to mix well.
• Season with pepper.

FENNEL WITH GARLIC, OIL AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the remaining oil. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the salt. Strain the oil into a fondue pot and keep hot.
• Arrange the fennel on a platter. Let guests dip the fennel slices into the hot garlic oil. Serve with the shaved Parmesan and tomato-cumin bread (see recipe), crackers or any crudite.

FENNEL WITH WINE AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat the margarine or oil in a wide non-stick pan.
• Roast fennel (max heat) slices until light brown.
• Reduce the heat to medium (in my case it needed about 10 minutes).
• Add salt, pepper and wine.
• Stir once and cover (medium-low heat).
• Continue to cook until soft for about 10 minutes. If necessary add more wine or some water.
• Adjust salt and pepper.
• Now you have two possibilities (A and B).
• A) Top with parmesan and continue to cook until parmesan melts (easiest and fast version).
• B) Transfer fennel to a baking mold, top with parmesan and broil under grill shortly until parmesan changes color (beautiful and tasty). Don't burn it.
• Serve warm as side dish.
• Note: Small portions on a buffet woud be very cute as well. Reserve some fennel as decoration!

BAKED FENNEL WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut the base off of the fennel bulbs, and cut a cone shape into the base to remove the core. You can see the core because it is whiter than the surrounding green. This is optional, but helps the fennel cook faster. Slice the fennel vertically (upright) into 1/4 inch thick slices.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fennel, and fry for about 5 minutes. Stir in the half-and-half and creme fraiche until well blended. Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown and the fennel is tender enough to pierce with a fork.

FENNEL SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the fennel seeds until they pop. Sizzle the garlic for 1 min, then add the lemon zest and half the fennel slices. Cook for 10-12 mins or until the fennel has softened.
• Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for 1 min less than pack instructions. Use tongs to transfer the pasta to the frying pan along with a good splash of pasta water. Increase the heat to high and toss well. Stir through the remaining fennel slices, the parsley and lemon juice, season generously, then tip straight into two bowls to serve. Top with the fennel fronds, extra olive oil and parmesan shavings, if you like.

PARMESAN-ROASTED FENNEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil.
• Remove stems and core from fennel bulbs. Reserve a handful of fronds. Dice fennel into bite-sized pieces. Toss fennel and fronds with Parmesan cheese, oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn fennel with a spatula and roast until crisp-tender and browned on both sides, 5 to 10 more minutes.
