Method:

1. Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 450°F.

2. Cut the fish Into six serving-size pieces. Sprinkle fish with lemon-pepper seasoning. Coat a 2-quart rectangular baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place fish in the prepared baking dish, tucking under any thin edges.

3. Bake until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork (allow 6 to 9 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish). Drain off any liquid.

4. Meanwhile, cook fettuccine according to package directions. For sauce, in a medium saucepan cook mushrooms, sweet pepper, and onion in hot oil about 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.

5. Add pizza sauce; heat through. Serve fish on hot cooked fettuccine; spoon sauce over fish. Sprinkle with cheese.
