Fettuccine with Crab and Fennel

The anise notes of fennel are a good match for the rich, sweet flavor of crab in this dish. Seek out the freshest premium lump crabmeat you can find; it should be moist, not dry. Since lump crabmeat comes precooked, it should be just heated through when added to the sauce.
