Tagliatelle with Crayfish Tails
Healthy, because

Nutritional values
Hot pan for the nutrition-conscious: Crayfish meat is rich in protein, but low in fat and calories. The fennel shines with essential oils that are good for the stomach, and the noodles provide satiating carbohydrates.
Did you catch a fennel bulb with a delicate green? If so, you can chop it finely and then add it to the pasta together with the spring onions.
