Cod and Fresh Tomatoes
Servings 4
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 lb. Campanella shape dried pasta cooked in water from cod
Instructions
- In a large pot, place the cod and cover it 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 apart into large pieces and discard any bones.
- Reserve the water cod was boiled in for later use.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring until the garlic becomes lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
- Add 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 over cooked pasta.
For the pasta
- Take the reserved pot of water that the cod was cooked in, salt the water, and raise the heat to high.
- Bring the water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente.
Enjoy!
