Fish
Caper fish with tomato and ricotta pasta - Long pasta with roast tomato and caper sauce, lemon ricotta and pan fried fish. Served with a side of sautéed vegetables.
1. Set oven to 200ºC. Roughly chop tomatoes, place in a baking dish with drained capers and 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
2. Combine ricotta with lemon zest, juice of half lemon and thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper (see notes). Remove tomatoes from oven and spoon ricotta over the top. Return to cook for an extra 10 minutes, or until golden.
3. Bring a saucepan of water to boil. Cook pasta for 3-4 minutes, or until al dente. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil.
4. Trim beans and slice courgettes lengthways. Cook in frypan over medium heat with 1 tbsp butter for 2 minutes, or until tender. Remove to a plate and keep pan over heat.
5. Season fish with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter to pan. Thinly slice lemon and add to pan with fish. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden.
6. Place fish on top of pasta. Pour over tomato and caper mix. Thinly slice chives and scatter over to garnish. Serve with a side of sautéed vegetables.

Add some chilli flakes to the ricotta for a little heat if preferred.
