Ingredients

• 400 grams linguine or spaghetti
• 300 grams cod fillets (skinless and boneless)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 100 milliliters dry white wine
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 unit lemon (zested and juiced)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine or spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cod fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden and flake easily with a fork. Remove the cod from the pan, flake it into large chunks, and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in the hot oil for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Step 5

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan with the dry white wine, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Add the red chili flakes, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Return the flaked cod to the skillet, then add the cooked pasta and toss to coat everything in the sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 9

Stir in the unsalted butter and chopped parsley, then season with additional salt and black pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
