Tilapia kinda Fra Diablo

This is what Gammy and I did tonight. We had never done it this way before, but it turned out great and it was real easy.

4 Tilapia fillets ( we keep some in the freezer)
About 2 ½ cups marinara sauce (we keep some of that in the freezer too) or you could get some ready made in the store. I like Butoni.
About 1/3 – ½ pound of pasta


Put the water on for the pasta with a dash of salt in it.
Put the sauce in a frying pan big enough to handle the fish. Add about a tbsp. of red pepper flakes. More or less or none , depends how fra Diablo you like it. I squeezed a half of a lime in it.

When the water boils put the pasta in. don’t forget to stir it right away so it don’t stick together. When the sauce simmers put the fish in. cook it about 2-3 min. per side. The pasta should be done. strain it, put it back in the pot and add a little of the sauce to keep it from sticking together. Serve it with some of the sauce on the fish and some more on the pasta.

Serve it up!! With some salad, crusty bread (maybe poppop’s homemade) and some wine!!!
