Cod and Fresh Tomatoes

Servings

Ingredients

2.5 lbs cod fillets (or other firm white fish)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
pinch of red pepper flakes or more to taste
1/2 cup white wine
2 lbs fresh ripe plum tomatoes chopped
2 tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 lbs Campanelle shape dried pasta cooked in water from cod

Instructions

In a large pot, place the cod and cover with enough water to cover the cod generously. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cod from the water and set aside in a large bowl until cool enough to handle. Break the cod apartin large pieces and discard any bones.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook stirring until the garlic become lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add all the tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Gently, lay pieces of cod into the tomato mixture and with a large spoon, cover cod with tomato sauce and continue to simmer for 20 minutes.
Serve immediately overcooked pasta.

For the pasta

Reserve the pot of water that the cod was cooked in, salt the water, and raise the heat to high to bring the water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente.
