Ingredients: (Serves 6)

375g Dreamfields Pasta Angel Hair
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup julienne or thickly shredded carrots
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper
1 cup (8 ounces/225g) marinara sauce
2 tablespoons sliced fresh basil
450g tilapia fillets (2 to 4 fillets)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds

1 cup = 4 ounce/100g measuring cup

Directions:
  1. Heat oil in large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion, parsley, garlic and carrots; stir well. Add red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Continue cooking about 5 minutes, until onion is browned, stirring frequently. Add marinara sauce and fresh basil. Cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.
  3. Place tilapia fillets in frying pan. Pour lemon juice and wine over fish. Cook 2 minutes; turn carefully with spatula. Continue cooking 2 minutes or until cooked through (fish flakes easily when tested with fork). Remove from heat. Remove fish from frying pan. Cut into 1-inch wide pieces.
  4. Drain pasta; toss pasta with sauce in frying pan. Gently stir in fish. Top with Parmesan cheese and toasted almonds.
Makes 6 servings.
