I’m so excited to bring you this recipe today in collaboration with Nobilo Wines and MSC (The Marine Stewardship Council). The partnership between Nobilo Wines and MSC is a unity of two brands that truly compliment each other. By pairing these two brands together, by land and sea, it’s guaranteed that you’re making healthy choices for your family, friends and the planet.

A few thoughts before we get to this delish looking dish.

Did you know that fish is the main source of animal protein for billions of people?

Did you also know that 1/2 billion people rely on seafood for their income?

Seafood is the worlds most traded food commodity – 10 times more than coffee!

The Marine Stewardship Council – MSC is a global non-profit organization created to address and reverse the problem of unsustainable fishing. When you see the blue MSC label on your product, it applies to wild catch fisheries, never farmed fish or seafood.

Fish are one of the last remaining foods that are caught or hunted wild. MSC certified sustainable seafood can be found at hundreds of supermarkets. Just look for the blue MSC label with the checkmark on all your favourite seafood products.

Nobilo wines, originates from New Zealand. As a white wine drinker, I’m partial to the classic, fresh, crisp, citrus and tropical flavours of Nobilo Wines Sauvignon Blanc which can be found at retailers across Canada such as Loblaws, Sobeys and the LCBO.

I couldn’t think of a better match, especially when it comes to this dish I prepared using fresh seafood, white wine and a simply beautiful twist on a classic pasta recipe you are going to LOVE.

This is one partnership that speaks to my heart. Celebrate life’s simple pleasures, sustainably.  Buon Appetito !
