Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 small onion, cut into thin slices
- 3⁄4 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1⁄2 orange, zest of
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

- 3⁄4 lb pasta, angel hair
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- In a large frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the fennel seeds, the orange zest and the salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute longer. Add the tomatoes and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the tuna and its oil and the chickpeas, cover, and remove the pan from the heat.
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the fedelini until just done, about 6 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce, 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water, and the parsley. If the sauce seems too thick, add more of the reserved pasta water.
