Instructions

Get Started
1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the spaghetti.

In the meantime, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim and halve the green beans. 

Cook the Pasta
2

When your pan of water is boiling, add the spaghetti and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 8 mins.

Halfway through cooking, add the green beans to the pan and cook for the remaining time.

Once cooked, pour into a colander and leave to drain in the sink. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop the pasta sticking together.

Fish to Fry
3

Once the spaghetti is cooked, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. 

Once hot, carefully place your sea bass into the pan, skin-side down. TIP: To get crispy skin on the fish, don't move it around when it's cooking skin-side down. 

Cook for 3-4 mins before turning over and cooking for 2-3 mins on the other side. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.

Simmer your Sauce
4

Meanwhile, clean out the (now empty) pasta saucepan and pop it back on medium heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, add the garlic and fry for 1 min.

Stir in the creme fraiche, vegetable stock paste and water for the sauce (see ingredient for amount). Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently until slightly thickened, 2-3 mins.

Hey Pesto
5

Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the grated hard Italian style cheese and remove from the heat.

Stir the pesto, cooked spaghetti and beans into the sauce and warm through until piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

Serve Up
6

When everything's ready, share the pesto spaghetti between your bowls.

Lay the sea bass fish on top, skin-side up, to finish.

Enjoy!
