Zesty fresh pasta with buttery lemon fish
Serves
Prep all the ingredients for the pasta.
Ready a large pot of water with salt.
In a large pan heat the oil then add in the minced garlic and sliced garlic and let it simmer on a very low heat.
Add in the zest, chilli, a good splash of wine, olives, half the parsley & stir. Careful not to burn the garlic it just needs to be nice and soft, once it’s soft you can take it off the heat until the pasta is done.
Get the dried pasta cooking in the boiling water as per the packet.While the pasta is cooking, ready a pan and heat through the knob butter on a medium-high heat, add in the pieces of fish with a good squeeze of lemon juice and a some of the chopped basil.
Be sure to have seasoned your fish. Put it on a platter once it’s cooked with some foil to stay warm. (I cooked the fish two pieces at a time)When you’ve got two pieces of fish to go, Drain the pasta and add it to the olive oil sauce, stir in the rest of the parsley and all the Parmesan with some of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
Serve on a platter with the fish on top if you like or alternatively serve the fish on its own platter with the rest of the chopped basil on top.
