Cod in Puttanesca Sauce
By the time we’re done putting up the decorations 🎄, baking and cooking, and with our shopping lists although there’s always last-minute gifts to buy, we’re exhausted! We still have to wrap the presents, clean the house and finish the last details before the 24th of December.
Being less than a week from Christmas, our energy level can be low 🥺 so we might not feel like spending too much time in the kitchen. Without compromising on delicious meals, we still want something quick and easy to make plus it’s even better if it’s a one-pot recipe like this one… Cod in Puttanesca Sauce!
This is incredibly tasty! Far from being bland, in 30 minutes, you can have this flavorful dinner that can be enjoyed with crusty bread or if you like, spoon the fish and sauce over rice 🍚 or pasta. It’s a great Italian recipe to add to your folder!
Despite the fact that I use cod, this Neapolitan sauce can be simply served over spaghetti 🍝 which makes the cooking time even shorter. Made with anchovies, tomatoes, olives and capers along with onions, garlic and wine, this sauce is very flavorful!
I use 4 large fillets in my Cod in Puttanesca Sauce but there’s enough sauce for 6. Depending on the thickness, it can take from 12 to 15 minutes ⏰ to cook them. To see when they’re done, the fish will get opaque and become white plus the internal temperature should read between 140ºF to 145ºF. Another way is to use a fork at its thickest part of the fish and if it flakes easily, it’s cooked.
This Cod in Puttanesca Sauce is a perfect 30-minute recipe to make when time is in short supply or just want something delectable quick! I like to serve it as is with crusty bread 🍞 such as ciabatta or artisan. It’s a lovely one-pot meal to have on hand!
