Savor a taste of Italy in only 10 minutes with fish fillets topped with fresh tomato slices and melted Parmesan cheese. Penne pasta tossed with fresh spinach completes this colorful dinner.
Buy whatever white fish looks best from the market. Or, use flash frozen fish fillets which, I've found give a true fresh taste when defrosted. The fish in a seafood case can be over a week old before you buy it. Measure the thickness of the fish and count about 10 minutes cooking time for each inch of thickness.
Helpful Hints:
_ Any type of fish fillet can be used, tilapia, sole or flounder.
_ Any short-cut pasta such as elbow macaroni or rigatoni can be used.
_ Be sure to thinly slice tomatoes.
_ Shave the Parmesan with a potato peeler.
_ Lining a baking tray with foil saves cleanup time.
