Penne Arrabbiata with Flaked Cod - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
This Penne Arrabbiata with Flaked Cod is a PCOS-friendly recipe.
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/4 c. olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 c. canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree (one 28-ounce can)
- 1 large tomato
- 1 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. dried red-pepper flakes
- 1 lb. cod fillet
- 3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
- 1 lb. penne
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the canned tomatoes, fresh tomato, salt, and red-pepper flakes and bring to a simmer. Simmer the sauce until thick, about 30 minutes.
- Add the cod and 2 tablespoons of the parsley to the sauce. Bring back to a simmer and continue simmering until the fish is just done, 1 to 2 minutes. Break the fish into small pieces with a spoon.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the penne until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain. Toss with the sauce. Top the pasta with the remaining tablespoon parsley.
- Variation: To make this dish without a trip to the fish market, substitute two six-ounce cans of drained tuna for the cod. Stir it into the tomato sauce and warm for about a minute before tossing with the pasta.
- Test-Kitchen Tips: To peel the fresh tomato quickly, make double use of the pasta-cooking water. Bring a pot of water to a boil, core the tomato, and drop it into the water for fifteen seconds. Using a slotted spoon, remove the tomato from the water, peel, and chop it. Then you've got boiling water ready for the pasta.
- Wine Recommendation: The adage is white wine with fish, but the tomatoes in this sauce call for a red instead. Try a sprightly Lago di Caldero or an easier-to-find Valpolicella.
