Ingredients

  1. 1 small head radicchio, halved lengthwise and cored
  2. 2 bulbs fennel, cored and cut into wedges, plus 1/4 cup chopped fronds
  3. 6 baby bell peppers, halved and seeded
  4. 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  5. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  6. 8 ounces orecchiette (about 2 cups)
  7. 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  8. Juice of 1 lemon
  9. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  10. 3 ounces Parmesan cheese, shaved

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Toss the radicchio, fennel wedges and bell peppers in a large bowl with 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and grill, turning occasionally, until charred and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes for the peppers and radicchio and 6 minutes for the fennel. Let cool, then cut into small pieces.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under cold water; shake off the excess. Transfer to a large bowl.
  3. Add the grilled vegetables and cannellini beans to the pasta; toss well. Add the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the lemon juice, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste; toss. Add the Parmesan and fennel fronds and toss gently.
