Fennel in béchamel sauce with parmesan is an exquisite dish of Italian cuisine, where the tenderness of vegetables harmoniously combines with the creamy sauce and rich flavor of parmesan. Fennel, with its light anise aroma, becomes soft and slightly sweet after boiling. Baking in creamy béchamel sauce gives the dish a velvety texture, while the melting parmesan forms an appetizing golden crust. This dish is perfect for a Mediterranean-style dinner; it can be served as a side to fish or meat or enjoyed on its own. The classic combination of ingredients makes it a true gastronomic find for connoisseurs of refined tastes.
