Nope! I forgot entirely they existed tonight.

Doesn't the parm take over and smother the tilapia flavor?

Maybe? We don't have fish very often, and this was a recipe we wanted to try. If we get more cheap tilapia we could try it more uhhh naked!

Fair enough :)

You can add a bit of the pasta water with the butter to create an emulsion, then finish it by mixing in a bit of parmesan, and you've basically created alfredo sauce.

Just don't tell the Italians you added garlic 😉

RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Do not worry, only Italian-Americans here, so garlic is extremely fine!

You need milk for mash?

angrystego@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Even classic recipes use milk, so double yeah!

RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

For the instant mashed potatoes we have, yeah!
