Bring a large pan of water to the boil.

Once boiling salt the water generously and add in the 12oz/340g of pasta. Cook as per the packet instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water before you drain it.

Whilst the water is coming to a boil start the fish.

Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based skillet over medium-high heat.

Season both sides of cod fillets with salt and pepper then carefully place the cod into the hot oil and cook for 3 minutes on each side.

Once the cod is cooked remove it from the skillet and lightly tent it with foil.

Add the tomatoes halves to the same skillet and cook until they have softened slightly. About 1 minute.

Add in a 1/4 cup of broth, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, 2 crushed garlic cloves, the zest of one lemon, and 1 tbsp of lemon juice.

Bring the sauce to a simmer and then add the drained pasta and 1/4 cup of chopped basil leaves.

Stir well to coat the pasta adding 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking water.

Once the pasta is all cooked add the cod fillets back in and serve immediately.
