Every Wednesday we are treated to a delicious dinner suggestion courtesy of Mark Murphy from Dingle Cookery School
Today Mark told Suzanne Kane about his spicy pasta dish that makes the most of in-season Irish tomatoes
Pasta with Hake in a Spicy Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, chopped finely
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- ½ tsp. ground cumin
- 5-6 tomatoes, peeled and chopped (you can use a tin of good tomatoes)
- 300-400g hake or cod, cut into bite sized chunks
- handful of kale, washed and stalks removed and chopped (ask for cavolo nero or curly kale)
- few basil leaves, torn
- salt and pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
- 300g tagliatelle, cooked
Method
- In a pot over low to medium heat, add a little oil and then add the chopped onions and garlic and pinch of salt. Let this cook for about 5 minutes or so. Add the red pepper flakes and spices. Cook for another minute of so. Add in the chopped tomatoes. Simmer this for about 10-15 minutes. Taste, season and add a little sugar if it is too acidic.
- Add in the pieces of fish and the kale. Season lightly and cover with a lid or parchment. Let this cook for about 5-8 minutes or until the fish and kale is cooked.
- Serve this with some pasta, add some torn basil leaves and drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil.
