Spaghetti with Cape Hake Sauce


Nothing fancy. Just an ordinary but very delectable white fish and tomato sauce for pasta that works perfectly as a one-course meal.

  • 1 tbsp Capers
  • 8 Olives, cut into rings
  • 1/3 tsp Dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 60 ml White wine
  • 400 ml / 1 can Diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1/3 tsp Dried basil
  1. Rinse and dry the fish fillet. Sprinkle both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook until tender, yet al dente, about 8 minutes.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, gently sauté the garlic in olive oil until aromatic. Add in chopped anchovy, stirring briefly, then add in chopped onion and stir until softened. Stir in capers, olives, chilli flakes, and the parsley. Then pour in the white wine and cook until it reduces a bit. Now add in the tomatoes and bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Put the fish into the saucepan, covering with the sauce. Cook 15 minutes until it is cooked through. Flake the fish and continue to cook briefly. Drain the spaghetti and add to the sauce.

  27. Angie, I have never put fish in pasta - never - but it makes perfect sense. Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the most unusual.

  51. I really need to use capers more. Personally, I love their flavor, the hubby (oddly) doesn't like them in hot dishes (same goes for olives). This might be the perfect dish to try them out on. Thanks for another great post!

  55. The fish in the pasta (I am assuming you can use any firm white fish?) is perfect - especially for summer. It seems like you use all my favorite ingredients in one scrumptious dish!

  63. A great way to add some fish into a pasta as I can never get away just making a pasta...my family always wants some sort of meat to go with it! This is a delicious sounding recipe.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Funny how I just had spaghetti with a tuna, tomato and green olive sauce during the weekend! I know this is simple but I also know it would taste great!
