Fish Florentine
This easy Fish Florentine recipe, made with a pan seared firm white fish served on a creamy bed of spinach feels like something you would order out in a fancy restaurant!
I love fish and try to eat it once or twice a week. You can see all my fish recipes here! This recipe takes under 30 minutes to make, the creamy spinach is what makes the whole dish, made with a little cream cheese, half & half cream and Parmesan cheese. It’s dreamy, delicious and the perfect pairing for the simple white fish.
Remember the turmeric-soaked turmeric noodles I used recently in this pad thai recipe? Well, these turmeric-soaked chickpeas build on that idea. I wanted to figure out a way to work turmeric into the chickpeas, and it was actually pretty straight-forward, thankfully. You can make them on the stovetop. You can make them in an Instant Pot – I tested both approaches. Pick whichever method you prefer!
I’ve been using these chickpeas in all sorts of preparations, and I thought I needed to isolate the recipe on its own, so I can point to the technique when I post a recipe that uses them. You can use them in a lot of recipes that call for chickpeas.
I’ve used these in hummus, in my favorite chana masala, and in meals like the one you see below – Turmeric Chickpeas with Garlic Tahini. All in all these chickpeas are a great way to easily integrate a bit more turmeric into your everyday eats.

Add spaghetti squash parmesan to the new favorites list!
If I’m being honest, I kind of feel like I’m living in 2019 with this spaghetti squash recipe. We used to love spaghetti squash and ate it quite a bit back then. Then we took a spaghetti squash hiatus, unintentional of course, and I basically… forgot about it.
Just forgot!
I showed much more love to other squash (hello butternut, forever) and, well, there is only so much one can handle when cutting huge squash by hand. You get me!
But I’m back. Spaghetti squash parmesan that gives us permission to eat all the cheese.
Last week, I asked on Instagram whether you’d like to see the guacamole turkey burgers or this spaghetti squash parm on Friday. It was CLOSE. I mean, it ended up being closer to 60/40, but I was still shocked at just how close that was!
I was going to wait on this for another week or so, but after that, I had to share today.
It’s so GOOD.It makes for an amazing meatless Monday meal too. Just delish.
Yesterday, I started my side dish Sundays series and while this could probably pass as a side dish for some (read: Eddie!), it’s totally a main dish for me.
It’s hearty and satisfying and really just tastes like the best comfort food.
My go-to for this is marinara because it’s pretty simple. However! If you have any bolognese (like the bolognese from The Pretty Dish!) on hand – any version of your favorite meat sauce – you can use that too.
That’s my number one secret for taking this from a side dish to a main meal for Eddie. If it’s stuffed with meat sauce, of COURSE he will eat it!
This is also a dish that you can prep halfway at the start of the week. I actually did this yesterday. I roasted the spaghetti squash cut-side down on the baking sheet and stopped there. Let them cool, wrapped them in foil and stuck them in the fridge.
Amazing, right? It’s like dinner is practically prepared already. All I have to do later this week is add a little sauce, cheese, seasonings and bake it.
I’m craving it already.
If this is more side-dish speed to you, if it seems waaaay more like something you’d love to have on the side of something, that totally works too.
First, I love to eat it with a big salad. Especially the How Sweet Eats house salad!
After that, I’d go with this bruschetta chicken. You could even sliced it and throw it on top. And of course, meatballs always work too. I make these bite-sized meatballs all the time.
This is the comfort food dream!
