1/2 pound Pasta
1 (4oz) White Fish Fillet, previously cooked and cut into bite size pieces
1 Leek, white parts only, sliced
1/2 cup Sliced Black Olives
3 tablespoon Capers
2 Garlic Cloves, chopped

Cook pasta until its almost cooked but still has a firm bite, reserving the pasta water.

Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat, melt butter, and olive oil. Add leeks, season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes, and saute for about 5 minutes. Add fish, olives, capers, and garlic, and saute for another 5 minutes, until fish is heated through.
Add, into the fish-veggie skillet, the cooked pasta, a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and if needed add pasta water. Toss it all together.

Top with fresh chopped basil and enjoy!!!

Serves 4
