Easy Linguine with Zucchini and Cod Recipe

This recipe features a simple and delicious pasta dish with linguine, zucchini, and cod. The recipe is easy to follow and uses readily available ingredients. It's a great option for a quick and flavorful meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound linguine pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound cod fillets
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, onion, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the cod fillets to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the zucchini and cod. Toss to combine. Add the reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen the sauce.
  5. Stir in the parsley and Parmesan cheese (if using).
  6. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • You can substitute other white fish, such as halibut or tilapia, for the cod.
  • For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet.
  • Serve with a side salad or crusty bread.
