Ingredients .jpg)
1 cup dried penne pasta (about 3 oz.)
2 fresh salmon, tuna, or swordfish steaks, 3/4-inch thick (about 12 oz.)
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons drained capers
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
1. In a large saucepan cook the pasta in lightly salted boiling water for 4 minutes; drain and set aside. (Pasta will not be tender.)
2. Meanwhile, sprinkle both sides of the fish steaks with the Creole seasoning; set aside. (If using a salt-free Creole seasoning, sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt.) In a medium bowl combine the partially cooked pasta, mushrooms, wine, pesto, lemon juice, and capers; set aside.
3. In a large skillet cook the fish steaks in the hot oil over medium-high heat for 1 minute; turn and cook 1 minute more. Reduce heat to medium. Spoon the pasta mixture around the tuna steaks in the skillet. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, over medium heat for 6 to 9 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Makes 2 servings.
