Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil and spray with nonstick spray.
Arrange all fish fillets on the sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook 8–9 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain and drizzle with olive oil.
Flip the fish fillets, sprinkle each with about 1 teaspoon Parmesan, and bake for 6 more minutes.
Remove fish, spoon about 1 tablespoon marinara over each fillet, top with a slice of mozzarella, and bake 4–6 minutes until melted and bubbly.
Warm remaining marinara on the stovetop.
Divide linguine among 4 plates, top with warm marinara, and add 2–3 cheesy fish fillets per serving. Garnish with basil if desired.

Notes

Use spaghetti, fettuccine, or any pasta shape you prefer.

Add crushed red pepper to the marinara for heat.

Serve over zucchini noodles or sautéed spinach for a lighter version.

Air-fry the fish for extra crispiness.
