2 fillets fish (chopped into 1 inch cubes)
1 clove garlic (crushed)
1 can tomato puree
1 onion
1 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tbsp cornflour
pinch salt
400g spaghetti

Cook spaghetti as per instructions on packet. In a separate saucepan saute fish, onions, parsley and garlic in oil. When onions are soft add cornflour and salt and stir in. Then gradually add tomatoes and thin with hot water to make a nice sauce. Serve hot over the spaghetti.
