Step 4
In one skillet, combine the sautéed onion and fish, add chopped tomatoes in their own juice, capers, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and basil. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 20–25 minutes. If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook uncovered.

Step 5
Boil the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions (it's better to slightly undercook it, so the pasta remains al dente), then add the pasta to the sauce in the pan. Let it simmer for a minute, and then it's ready to serve.
