Classic Tomato Spaghetti With Buttery Pan Fried Fish

PASTA WEEK RECIPE 5

Classic Tomato Spaghetti With Buttery Pan Fried Fish

This time I want something different something red so why not the classic tomato spaghetti accompany with  simple delicate buttery pan fried fish, although Fariyal don't like fish but i am kind of opposite of her "the fish lover <3" and this dish suits fish more so i'll figure out something else for her :), something like chicken. If you are not a fish lover you can also use chicken instead of fish.
