Ingredients
- 1 cup of your favorite Multigrain pasta (cooked)- 1/2 fillet (or 3.5 oz) of Tilapia (or any other white fleshed fish of your choice. Mahi-mahi is great and so is Grouper.)- fresh Basil- sliced onion (one or two slices)- Salt and Pepper- 1 serving of your favorite pasta sauce (mine is Tomato and Basil)- Parmasan cheese (optional)
Cook the pasta as you normally would or according to box directions. While the pasta is cooking, you will want to steam the fish. You could either use a steam cooker, or improvise with a pot and a ceramic plate. Place the plate in the pot and then fill with water until the water is just under the plate. Make sure not to pour water on to the plate. Place a few leaves of basil and a few slices of onion on the plate. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the tilapia (or other fish) and place the fish on top of the basil and onions. Cover the fish with a few more leaves of basil and a few more slices of onions. Cover the pot. Cook the fish until the flesh is opaque (all white). The fish will absorb the flavors of the onions and the basil and bring that little something extra. Drain the pasta and mix with the pasta sauce, add the fillet sans the wilted basil and onions and enjoy!! A healthy and delicious, no fuss, easy meal, you can make in 15 minutes. This recipe makes 1 serving.
