Spicy Pasta With Tilapia
- 1/2 pound tilapia fillets, cut into small chunks
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 28 -ounce can San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for topping
- Kosher salt
- 10 ounces multigrain spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Toss the tilapia, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a medium bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the remaining garlic and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic starts to soften, about 30 seconds.
- Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, 1/4 cup basil and 1/2 cup water.
- Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook as the label directs.
- When the pasta is almost done, add the tilapia to the skillet with the tomato sauce and simmer, stirring gently, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the parsley and the remaining 1/4 cup basil; season with salt.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce.
- Divide among bowls and top with more basil.
