I am so excited to have partnered with Pompeian to bring you this delicious recipe! This Parmesan crusted tilapia over pasta is a quick weeknight meal that’ll make you feel fancy!
When I am rushed for a quick week night meal, I know that I can usually pull some tilapia out of the freezer and quickly thaw it. I wanted to come up with something tasty, and I love Parmesan cheese and pasta. I thought a nice Parmesan crusted tilapia over pasta that has been prepared with garlic and oil would be absolutely delicious. I was right! It was a pretty tasty meal!
Parmesan Crusted Tilapia over Pasta
To start you need to gather your ingredients:
4 tilapia filets
1/2 C. Panko bread crumbs
1/2 C. Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. dried Italian herbs
4 Tbsp. Pompeian olive oil, divided
1 lb. spaghetti
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
Extra Parmesan cheese for topping
Now it’s time to cook! Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Combine Panko, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and Italian herbs. I used a food processor to get a finer texture.
Rub. 2 Tbsp. olive oil on fish filets.
Press breadcrumb mixture into fish and places on a foil lined baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until fish flakes with a fork.
Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook until lightly toasted.
Toss drained pasta with oil/garlic mixture and stir in extra Parmesan cheese.
Serve fish over pasta with extra Parmesan if you like!
