Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tilapia

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 ounces elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons light olive oil
2 tilapia fillets
1 tablespoon lemon juice
⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch dried basil
1 pinch dried cilantro
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
1 tablespoon light olive oil
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch dried basil
1 pinch dried oregano
1 pinch dried cilantro
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over medium heat, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the macaroni uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle both sides of the tilapia fillets with lemon juice, oregano, basil, cilantro, salt, and pepper, and lay the fillets in the heated skillet, making sure they don't touch. Sear the fillets for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, until the fish is golden brown on the outside, and opaque and flaky inside.
  • Return the hot, cooked macaroni to the saucepan, and stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat the pasta. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese, stir to mix, and stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, the garlic powder, basil, oregano, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Divide the pasta between two plates, and top each with a tilapia fillet.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Short pastas like penne, rotini, or shells work best for this recipe because they hold the sauce well.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Use fresh tilapia fillets. Tilapia is a delicate fish that cooks quickly, making it perfect for this recipe. If you can't find fresh tilapia, you can also use frozen tilapia fillets that have been thawed.
  • Don't overcook the tilapia. Tilapia is a thin fish that cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked tilapia will become dry and tough.
  • Use a spicy tomato sauce. The tomato sauce is the key to this dish, so make sure it's flavorful and spicy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Add some vegetables. Vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms can add flavor and color to this dish.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can add a pop of color and flavor to this dish.

Conclusion:

Spicy pasta with tilapia is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The combination of spicy tomato sauce, tender tilapia, and al dente pasta is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even better. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give spicy pasta with tilapia a try. You won't be disappointed!
