Parmesan Herb Crusted Cod

Parmesan herb crusted cod on rotini aglio e olio with capers. I used rotini noodles in place of spaghetti because I'm using GF boxed kind and they tend break down and become more of a mess than a noodle. I've had really good luck with homemade noodles but that doesn't always happen especially on a weeknight.

Ingredient

cod loins

To taste

capers

4 tbsp

extra virgin olive oil

1 box

GF Rotini

garlic cloves finely chopped

1 tbsp

lemon juice

To taste

crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 cup

grated Parmesan

1 tbsp

ricotta cheese

1/4 tsp

paprika

1 tbsp

Basil

1/4 tsp

granulated garlic

1 tsp

dried chives

1/4 tsp

oregano

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Start cooking the noodles per directions. For me to get GF noodles al dente while leaving them with enough structure to not just become an unappetizing mess I soak them. Pour them into a mixing bowl and cover with warm water, hot if I'm in a hurry and going to be watching them closely. Just let them soak until they are almost to the stage where real noodles get to in boiling water when you can just get one to cut against the inside of the pot with an edge of a spoon. Finish cooking with the meal

* Step 2

Mix the ingredients for the herb crust together in a bowl.

* Step 3

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet. Cover each side of the cod loins with the herb cheese mixture.

* Step 4

Sear the cod loins on each side and set aside tented with foil. Leave the heat on the skillet. Add the rest of the oil and remaining ingredients excluding the pasta and capers.

* Step 5

Cook until the garlic is no longer raw but not turning brown. Pour in the drained pasta and stir until the oil coats all the noodles. You can add additional Parmesan here to the noodle if you like.
