Serves 2-3
Ingredients
· 2 sea bass fillets (skinless or skin-on, cut into 3cm bite-sized chunks)
· 1 tbsp olive oil
· 1 small onion, finely chopped
· 2 garlic cloves, minced
· 1 tsp smoked paprika
· 1 sprig fresh thyme
· 1 Yellow capsicum
· 1 Zucchini cut into 2cm dice
· 100g baby spinach
· 1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes
· 1 can (400g) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
· 150g short pasta (like fusilli, penne, or rigatoni)
· 400ml vegetable stock
· 1 tbsp lemon juice
· Salt and black pepper to taste
· Fresh parsley
Method
· Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Fry the onion for 4 minutes until soft; add the capsicum and cook for a few minutes. Stir in the garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
· Build the liquid base: Pour in the chopped tomatoes, drained chickpeas, fresh thyme, Zucchini and vegetable stock. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a rolling boil.
· Simmer the pasta: Stir the dry pasta directly into the boiling liquid. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking.
Poach the sea bass: Once the pasta is just al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed into a thick sauce, gently fold the seasoned sea bass chunks into the pasta mixture. Cover and simmer for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the fish is opaque, flaky, and cooked through. Add in the baby spinach and stir in.
Finish and serve: Remove from heat. Ge
