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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in the parsley and Parmesan cheese (if using).
- 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.
