Ingredients

• 350 g Linguine
• 300 g Smoked haddock fillets (skinless and boneless)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 250 g Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 100 g Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 100 ml Heavy cream
• 30 g Grated Parmesan (optional, for serving)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente according to package instructions (about 8-10 minutes). Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water, and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the smoked haddock fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are opaque and flake easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and drop the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 4

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Stir the fresh spinach leaves into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to wilt.

Step 6

Flake the smoked haddock into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet. Gently stir to combine with the vegetables.

Step 7

Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Toss the cooked linguine into the skillet, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce looks too thick. Mix well to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan if desired.
