You're bringing together pasta and tilapia in a quick, elegant dish that takes just 30 minutes from start to finish.

It's a straightforward recipe that delivers restaurant-quality results with minimal fuss.

Cook the pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Once 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.

Add the cream

After about a minute, turn the fish pieces over and add the cherry tomatoes and olives to the pan. Stir gently so the fish doesn't break up too much, let it cook for about two minutes, then pour in a little cream.
