Baked Tilapia Marinara with Ricotta & Penne
Uses: tilapia, marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, penne
Ingredients:
- 1 tilapia fillet, 5 to 6 ounces
- 1 cup cooked penne
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions:
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a small baking dish and place the tilapia in the center. Season with oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, and a small amount of salt.
- Spoon about half the marinara over the fish and bake until the tilapia reaches at least 145°F and flakes easily with a fork, usually about 10 to 15 minutes depending on thickness.
- Warm the cooked penne with the remaining marinara until hot.
- Serve the tilapia over or beside the penne and add ricotta in small spoonfuls over the pasta.
Good for: A comforting Italian-inspired fish dinner with tomato sauce, creamy ricotta, and penne.
Optional: Add sautéed mushrooms or onion to the marinara.
