Cooked celery has a nutty flavor. In this dish the celery is gently braised in a lemon-flavored broth with fresh linguine. The celery and pasta create a flavorful bed for fresh snapper in this 20-minute meal.
Helpful Hints:
— You can use walnuts, almonds or pecans instead of pistachio nuts.
— Use a casserole that can go from stovetop to oven. Or, make the dish in a skillet.
Countdown:
— Start celery and linguine.
— While celery cooks, prepare snapper and pistachios.
Shopping List:
2 6-ounce snapper fillets, 1/4 pound fresh linguine, 1 package shelled pistachios, 1 bunch celery, and 2 lemons.
Staples: olive oil, fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth*, salt and black peppercorns.
