Linguine with fish, leeks and apples? It might be a new flavour to your palates, but it’s unexpectedly delightful, and life is always more interesting with new flavours.

Difficulty: easy
Cost: moderate
Preparation time: 30 minutes + 15 minutes cooking
Serves: 4

Method

Clean the leeks, slice them and sweat them gently in the extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan with the garlic. Add the red mullet fillets and some of the previously sliced apples and pour on the white wine, cooking until it evaporates, then add a little vegetable or fish stock and simmer; season with salt and pepper. 

Cook the linguine al dente separately. When the pasta is ready, add it to the sauce and let all the liquid evaporate. Serve garnished with a sprinkling of salted ricotta, some fresh basil leaves and with the rest of the sliced apples.  Enjoy!
