Creamy Pasta with White Fish – bright, quick comfort

Creamy Pasta with White Fish and Marinated Cucumbers is the kind of weeknight meal that feels special without taking much time. Silky cream sauce clings to linguine, tender white fish makes it satisfying, and the lemony dill cucumbers add a crisp, refreshing bite. It’s ideal for busy weekdays when you want something fast, but it also works beautifully when you’re cooking for friends and want an elegant plate with minimal effort.

Why Creamy Pasta with White Fish tastes so good

What makes this dish shine is the balance of flavors: mild cream, fresh spring onion, and fragrant dill, lifted with both lemon zest and juice. White fish brings light, high-quality protein, while the herbs and citrus keep the sauce from feeling heavy. The quick-marinated cucumber acts like a built-in side, adding crunch and a clean, tangy note that ties everything together.

Easy prep tips and simple variations

After draining the pasta, toss it with a little oil so it stays loose while you finish the sauce. Warm the fish briefly with the spring onion—over-stirring can break it up too much. If the sauce feels thick, loosen it with a splash of water (a bit of pasta water works great too) and simmer only a few minutes for a smooth finish. You can swap part of the dill for parsley, or use quick-pickled zucchini ribbons instead of cucumber for a fun twist.

Best ways to serve Creamy Pasta with Fish

Serve straight from the pan while the sauce is glossy. Spoon the marinated cucumbers on the side or on top for a fresh contrast. A simple green salad, steamed peas, or sautéed spinach make great sides. For drinks, try sparkling water with lemon or an iced herbal tea.
