Fresh sole topped with toasted almonds takes only minutes to make. Toasting almonds intensifies their flavor.
Penne with sugar snap peas completes the meal. These sweet peas are a cross between English and snow peas. They only need to be trimmed and cooked for 2 minutes. To save time and pots, add the sugar snap peas to the pasta about 2 minutes before the pasta is finished cooking.
If sole is not available, use any type of fish fillet (tilapia, grouper, mahi mahi, flounder). Measure the fish at its thickest part and cook for 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
Helpful Hints:
_ Green beans or snow peas can be used instead of sugar snap peas.
_ Any short cut pasta can be used.
Countdown:
_ Place water for pasta on to boil.
_ Prepare ingredients.
_ Cook the pasta.
_ While pasta cooks, saute the almonds and sole.
