Ingredients
- 30 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 450 g frozen hake medallions, sliced into 1 cm rounds
- Salt pepper, to taste
- 2-3 garlic cloves, finely grated
- Rind of 1 lemon, finely grated
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) cake or bread flour
- 250 ml (1 cup) vegetable or chicken stock

Method
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil for the spaghetti. While waiting for it to boil, using a large wide non-stick pan, heat the oil and fry the sliced hake on both sides until lightly golden and just cooked, seasoning with salt pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the spaghetti to the boiling water (stir every now and then to prevent sticking, and place a timer on 7-8 minutes for al dente).
- While the spaghetti is cooking, add the garlic and lemon rind to the same pan that you fried the hake in, over medium heat. Stir for half a minute, then add the flour and stir briefly. Add the stock and bring to a simmer, stirring.
- Now add the sugar snaps, fried hake, and the freshly cooked spaghetti, topping with parsley, dill and parmesan. Use tongs to mix well, then plate and serve immediately in bowls.
