Ingredients
Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil over high heat.
-
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice, water, anchovy paste, and garlic until blended. Set aside.
-
Position oven rack 4 inches from broiler element and heat to high. Spray a broiler-pan rack with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Season both sides of flounder with salt and pepper. Place fillet halves skinned side up on a work surface. Starting at the narrow end, roll up a fillet; transfer it to prepared broiler pan, seam side down. Roll up remaining fillet halves and arrange on broiler pan.
-
Add linguine to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 7 minutes. While pasta is cooking, broil flounder 6 minutes or until tops are lightly browned; remove from broiler. Spread tops of flounder rolls with mayonnaise mixture; broil until topping is golden brown and bubbling, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer.
-
Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Return pasta to pot; stir in tomatoes and pesto sauce until evenly coated, adding some of the cooking water to thin sauce if necessary. Divide pasta onto 4 plates and top each with 2 flounder rolls. Sprinkle with parsley.
