Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking; set aside. Heat oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic, oregano, onion, pepper, fennel and zucchini 2 minutes. Add tomato; cook 1 minute more. Add beans, pasta, escarole and 1 cup vegetable stock or roasted garlic broth. Simmer 3 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and escarole wilts. Add salt and pepper. Makes 6 servings.
 
Yum! I like that you use simple healthy ingredients, and also I don't know if I've ever bought fennel before so this would be a good time to try it.
