This is a wonderful delightful recipe. My husband who loves Italian sausage wanted to double the meat. We added a pinch of red pepper (we like spicy). We kept all the rest of the ingredients the same. We also sauted some sweet Italian links to go with this. We really liked it. It was refreshingly different. All the flavors meld together nicely. The crunch from the crisp tender vegetables is a nice touch. I love fennel so this recipe caught my eye and I'm glad it did. Hats off to whomever came up with this one. It will definitely go into my printed collection of favorite recipes. YUM!

This was very tasty! I did change a few things to the recipe, but it turned out fantastic! Bought spicy sausages, but removed the outer skin and rolled the meat into miature balls, then added more peppers. I also had to substitute the fennel bulb with about a tablespoon of Anise seed because my grocery store didn't have it, but the whole family still loved it! served with ceasar salad and breadsticks.
