Cooking Steps

1

Boil a large pot of salted water for the tagliatelle. TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.

Finely chop garlic (or use a garlic press).

Pick the tarragon leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks).

Trim and roughly grate the courgette and carrot (no need to peel).

 

2

Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the basa dry with kitchen paper and toss with the black pepper and season with salt. 
Once hot, lay the fillets in the pan and cook for 4-5 mins. Turn over and cook on the other side for a further 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.

 

3

While the fish cooks, heat a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Fry onion and garlic for 2-3 min, or until fragrant.

Add courgette and carrot and fry for 3-4 mins until softened. Season with salt and pepper. 

4

When the water is boiling, add the tagliatelle to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 3-4 mins. Once cooked, reserve some pasta cooking water and drain the rest in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat. Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.

5

Add creme fraiche, vegetable stock, half the tarragon (to taste) and pasta to the veggie pan and allow to warm through. Add a splash of pasta water, if required to loosen the sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper. 

6

Divide the creamy tagliatelle between plates and top with the basa. Sprinkle over any remaining tarragon.
