To make a homemade sauca. start by choppin a lot of garlic. meanwhile put some tomatoes in a saucepan full with water and boil the tomatoes until the skin starts getting off. when ready take of the skin from tomatoes and chop. heat some olive oil in a pan and throw the garlic. let cook for a few minutes and add the tomatoes. Don't let the garlic burn. Turn heat low. Stir occasionally. add the olives and capers. season and let cook for a while on low heat until its sauce. The mahimahi in our language maltese called lampuka, cut into slices if it isnt and make sure its clean inside. I tell the guy at the shop to clean and cut it into slices. wash with water before cooking. put some flour in a bowl and cover the fish with it. in a pan add some oil and cook the fish on both sides until golden brown or until cooked through. cook your desired sides in this case i made some french fries and vegetable. serve everything hot. enjoy.

For the soup, heat the EVOO, two turns of the pan, in a large soup pot over medium to medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, salt, pepper, thyme, and the bay leaf and cook, partially covered, to soften, 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomato paste and stir for 2 minutes; add the stock, tomatoes and basil. Simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes; remove and discard the bay leaf. Puree the soup in a blender and return to the pot. To make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a saucepot over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, season with salt and pepper and let thicken to coat a spoon. Stir the béchamel into the soup to combine. For the "noodles," beat the eggs with the cheese, salt, pepper and parsley. Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat and add half of the egg mixture. Swirl into a very thin, large layer, cover with loose foil and cook until completely set, 3-4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture. Remove the pan from the heat and roll up the eggs into two logs. Slice each log into 1/4-inch "noodles." Serve the soup in shallow bowls topped with a few "egg noodles."

Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray (or use parchment paper).Roll loaf or combined dinner rolls into a 12x16-inch rectangle  or pizza dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and let cool slightly. Remove wrap from dough. Place spaghetti lengthwise in a 4-inch strip down the center of dough. Tip with sauce and cheese cubes. (I mixed my spaghetti and sauce together and added some already cooked broccoli). Make cuts 1 ½-inches apart on long sides of dough to within ½-inch of filling. Begin braid by folding top and bottom strips toward filling. Then braid strips left over right, right over left. Finish by pulling last strip over and tucking under braid. Lift braid with both hands and place on large sprayed baking sheet. (or transfer parchment paper to baking sheet). Brush with egg white and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese , parsley and garlic powder. Don't be scared to put garlic powder because thats what makes it good. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly and slice to serve.
