Sicilian Tomato Pesto Fish Sauce with Spaghetti
Serves 4-6
|
|
Heady aromas emanate from this satisfying, rustic one-dish pasta meal. White fish filets brushed with sun-dried tomato pesto simmer over aromatic in a wine-scented fish stock. Finally they almost melt into a sauce. You can use any flaky white fish to make this Southern Italian inspired dish. Along with spaghetti, olives, capers, and fresh basil are stirred in. Add grated Parmigiano Reggiano if you like. (We do.) Toss room temperature leftovers with more oil and cheese.

Combine tomatoes and their oil, 1 clove garlic, Parmesan cheese, 1 t. salt, and ½ t. black pepper in an electric blender and purée until almost smooth. Set aside. Heat oil in a large, deep sauté pan over medium heat. Add mirepoix and remaining garlic and cook until very soft, about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in wine and cook over high heat until almost evaporated. Season fish liberally with salt and pepper. Lay filets over vegetables, spread tomato pesto over them, pour diluted
Fumet de Poisson Gold® into the pan and gently simmer until fish easily flakes, about 20 minutes, breaking it into small pieces with a fork. While fish simmers, cook spaghetti in a large pot of salted water until al dente, then drain, and return to pot. Pour fish sauce over pasta. Add olives, capers, and basil, and stir to blend. Taste to adjust seasonings. Serve with additional cheese, if desired.
