Steamed Fish with Vegetable Pasta

Since I've had a great deal more time at home, I've been cooking dinner every night. Oh the yummy goodness. It's nice to know what's going into my food and that it didn't come out of a cardboard box.

So last night, I was looking in my pantry and trying to create a delicious but low fat meal. I spied the 6 boxes of wheat spaghetti and was inspired.

For the following recipe I used my Oster Steamer which I am maddly in love with. You will also eed the following ingredients.

2 Medium Italian Squash (also referred to as Green Zucchini)
2 Heads Broccoli
4 Fillets Tilapia (or other white fish)
1 Knorr Vegetable Boulion cube
1 Pkg Wheat Pasta
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Light Margarine (I use Smart Balance Light because it tastes good and cooks well)
1 Tsp Lemon Juice

Rosemary, Basil, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Salt

Start by cleaning your fish. You can also use chicken if you don't like fish. Cut a piece of foil large enough to wrap around the fish. Place the fish on the foil and sprinkle both sides with Salt, Lemon Pepper and Rosemary. You really only need a pinch of Rosemary, a little goes a long way.

Fold your fish up in the foil and place in the refrigerator. You will cook the fish last because it takes the least amount of time to cook.

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil with the vegetable boulion cube.

Cut your squash into quarters and your broccoli into bite sized pices. Do not include broccoli stems. Fill your steamer up with 4 cups of water to start. Add the broccoli and squash and set the steamer to 15 minutes. This will cook your vegetables to a soft interior with a crunchy exterior. If you prefer your vegetables more tender cook for addtional 5 minutes until desired tenderness.

Once your water is boiling, using about half of the package of spaghetti, snap the noodles in half and place in the boiling water. Cook for 10 minutes.

While the pasta and the vegetables are cooking prepare your pasta seasoning. Combine 2 tbsp Olive Oil, 1 tbsp light margerine, 1 tsp Lemon Juice, 1 tsp garlic salt and a pinch of rosemary & basil. Set aside.

As soon as your vegetables are done place the fish in the steamer basket and steam for approx 8 minutes. Fish should be white and flaky when it's done.

When the pasta is done remove from heat and drain, do not rinse noodles! Add the vegetables to the pasta and toss with the Olive Oil mixture.

As soon as the fish is done, grab it out of the steamer using oven mitts. Arrange on a plate and serve. If you would like to add a little more buttery flavor to your pasta and vegetables I suggest using I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray.
