  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves finely chopped
  • 1¼ cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Creamy Tomato Basil Linguine

  • 1 lb dry linguine noodles
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup yellow onion minced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia

  1. Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit.

  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  3. In a medium, shallow bowl whisk together eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and parsley leaves. In a separate shallow bowl, stir together panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.

  4. Dredge each Tilapia fillet in egg mixture until fully coated and then dip into the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture. Press breadcrumbs gently into fillet until well coated.

  5. Place Tilapia fillets onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until Tilapia fillets flake easily.

  6. While the fish is cooking, bring a large stock pot of water to a rolling boil. Add linguine noodles and cook for eight to nine minutes or until al dente. Drain noodles and set aside.

  2. Cook sauce for 20 minutes on medium-low heat. Finish the sauce by whisking in parmesan cheese and basil.

  3. Toss cooked linguine noodles in creamy tomato basil sauce.

  4. Top linguini noodles with cooked parmesan-crusted Tilapia fillets.
