  • 1 brown onion, finely diced
  • 1 head broccoli, florets and stem finely chopped
  • 1 jar tomato passata
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon fish bake spice mix
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 450g fish fillets
  • 1/2 bag baby spinach leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water
  • 1/2 block Edam cheese, grated

Steps

  1. a pot of salted water to the boil. Preheat oven grill to high.
  2. Heat a drizzle of oil in an ovenproof fry-pan on low-medium heat. Cook onion and broccoli for 3–5 minutes until soft. Add passata, tomato paste, fish bake spice mix, salt, sugar and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8–10 minutes until broccoli is very soft.
  3. While pasta sauce cooks, cook pasta bows in pot of boiling water for 10-12 minutes until just tender. Drain and return to pot with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Pat fish dry with paper towels and remove any remaining scales or bones. Cut into 4cm pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  5. When broccoli has finished cooking, stir spinach and reserved pasta water into the sauce and season to taste with pepper.
  6. Arrange fish on top of pasta sauce and sprinkle cheese on top. Grill, in middle rack of oven, for 4–6 minutes until fish is cooked through and cheese is golden.
  7. Divide pasta bows between bowls and top with a big spoonful of cheesy tomato fish bake. Sprinkle with a few chilli flakes, if desired.
