Let’s cook

At a glance

This elegant dish comes together in just 31 minutes with minimal hands-on work. You'll get the pasta and fish cooking simultaneously, then quickly sauté everything together with tomatoes, olives, and a touch of cream—the key is gentle stirring so your tilapia chunks stay intact while they meld with the silky sauce.

Cook the pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Once it's boiling, add the pasta and cook until almost tender. While the water comes to the boil and the pasta cooks, you'll have plenty of time to prepare the rest of the dish.
