Well, for today, anyway. Lately I have been working until 8 pm, and it is hard to do my usual. Meaning, cooking all day or creating elaborate sauces and concoctions. Gotta find some ideas for relatively quick, easy and delicious suppers. Gotta love this one! Especially because the ingredients can so easily be changed!
Linguini with Sole, Tomatoes and Bacon
Come home from work, kick off your shoes, and pour yourself a glass of wine. This is imperative to the success of the recipe.
Get a lb of sole ( or cod or peeled shrimp) and cut into chunks. In a frying pan heat 3 tbsps of olive oil and 4 strips of bacon cut into julienned strips. Stir until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the fish and stir for 2 more minutes. Add 10 oz. ripe plum tomatoes that have been chopped. San Marzano tomatoes are THE BEST and are so worth the extra buck or two. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes and sason with salt and pepper.
Boil water. I know this may be difficult for some. ;) Add some good quality linguini, and boil until barely al dente. This means don't cook the shit out of it. Drain the pasta and add to the frying pan. Stir and cook for 2 more minutes.
Pour yourself another glass of wine and eat. Presto. Delicious in under 15 minutes. Hell, I beat Rachel Ray. She takes 30.
