At the same time, sauté the onion in hot olive oil, in another pan, for about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, celery and carrot, continue to sauté for another 2 minutes. Then add the tomato, potatoes and bay leaves. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the fish stock, the capellini pasta, the lemon juice and the salt and pepper.
Cook for 5 – 10 minutes until the potatoes are soft and the pasta is cooked through. Then remove the bones from the fish and put it back in the pan. Add the fresh thyme (and red pepper flakes, if desired).
Serve the stew hot.
Bon appétit!
