This luscious combo gives you a little Mediterranean escape, with hints of lemon and herbs running through the fish and pasta. Quickly seared to golden, fillets of seared cod rest on a bed of fresh tagliatelle bathed in a rich and creamy sauce studded with leafy greens and peas.

Recipe Instructions

Golden Cod over Fresh Tagliatelle - Step #1 Cook the cod
Step 1: Cook the cod
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. In a medium pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Thoroughly pat the cod fillets dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spice blend and S&P. Add the cod* to the pan and cook, 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Carefully transfer to a plate and set aside in a warm spot. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Golden Cod over Fresh Tagliatelle - Step #2 Sauté the spinach
Step 2: Sauté the spinach
Zest and juice the lemon. In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and up to ½ the lemon zest (to taste); sauté, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the spinach and up to ½ the lemon juice (to taste); sauté, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, until wilted. Season with the remaining spice blend and S&P. Remove from the heat.
Golden Cod over Fresh Tagliatelle - Step #3 Boil the pasta
Step 3: Boil the pasta
Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 1 to 3 minutes, until al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain the pasta thoroughly. Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking and set aside in a warm spot.
Golden Cod over Fresh Tagliatelle - Step #4 Make the lemon-pesto drizzle
Step 4: Make the lemon-pesto drizzle
While the pasta boils, in a small bowl, combine the pesto, as much remaining lemon zest and juice as you’d like and 3 tbsp olive oil (double for 4 portions). Stir well.
Golden Cod over Fresh Tagliatelle - Step #5 Finish & serve
Step 5: Finish & serve
Return the pan of spinach to the heat on medium-high. Add the cooked pasta, peas and cream. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, until the pasta is coated with the sauce; season with S&P to taste. Divide the finished pasta between your bowls. Top with the seared cod. Spoon as much lemon-pesto drizzle over the dish as you’d like. Garnish with the Parmesan. Serve any remaining drizzle on the side. Bon appétit!
