How to prepare Spaghetti with Sauce, Cod, and Herb Bread

To prepare spaghetti with sauce, cod, and herb bread, start with the breadcrumb mixture. Roughly chop the thyme leaves, sage, and rosemary needles with a knife 1. Then remove the seeds from the chili pepper - or just slit it - and move to the stove. In a pan, heat the oil along with the garlic, slit chili pepper 2, and the aromatic herb mix 3.

Let it flavor on low heat for about 1 minute, then remove the garlic and chili pepper 4, increase the heat, add the bread, and a pinch of pepper: let it flavor, stirring often 5. Once ready, set it aside 6.

Bring a pot of boiling water to the stove and add salt when it's time to pour the pasta. In the meantime, prepare the sauce. Heat a saucepan with a drop of oil and a clove of garlic 7. Then add the frozen cod nuggets 8 and let them sizzle for 1 minute 9.

Deglaze with white wine 10 and as soon as the alcoholic part has evaporated, set the fish aside 11. In the cooking base, add the tomato 12.

Lower the temperature a bit, adjust salt, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally 13. Meanwhile, also cook the pasta 14 and remember to drain it 2 minutes before the end of the cooking time indicated on the package. Remove the garlic from the sauce 15

and add the fish pieces 16 along with a splash of pasta water 17, cooking for a couple of minutes before draining the spaghetti 18.

Grate a bit of pepper, toss briefly 19, and plate by forming nests using tongs or a large fork 20. Garnish on top with the breadcrumb mixture and immediately enjoy your spaghetti with sauce, cod, and herb bread 21.

Storage

It is recommended to consume the spaghetti with sauce, cod, and herb bread as soon as they are ready.

Tip

Enhance the spaghetti with sauce, cod, and herb bread with a drizzle of raw oil at the end of cooking. The chili pepper without seeds or slit will release a very light spiciness, but if you don't like it, you can easily omit it. Then vary the tomato: the Piennolo one is rich in flavor and saltiness, choose cherry tomatoes for a sweeter sauce or a grape tomato for a balanced flavor.
