Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 10 to 11 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, medium-dice the tomatoes.
- Halve, core and medium-dice the sweet pepper.
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs (shuck if necessary).
- Halve the lemon; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½.
Bake the tilapia
- Pat the tilapia* dry and drizzle with oil; season with ½ the spices and S&P.
- Arrange on a lined sheet pan and bake, 8 to 10 min., until cooked through.
Sauté the vegetables
- Meanwhile, in a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the sweet pepper, corn, remaining spices and S&P.
- Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to soften.
Combine the pasta
- To the pan of vegetables, add the tomatoes, 4 tbsp butter, the lemon juice, pasta, ½ the reserved cooking water and S&P.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until combined.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta between your plates.
- Top with the tilapia.
- Garnish with the lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking fish to a minimum internal temperature of 70°C.
