Linguine with Swordfish

Swordfish linguine is a delicious and relatively simple dish to prepare. Here is the recipe to make this dish in Italian style:

Ingredients

• 320 g of linguine
• 200 g of swordfish
• 10 cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 clove of garlic
• Fresh parsley to taste
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 glass of white wine
• Grated zest of 1 lemon (optional, to add a touch of freshness)

Preparation

1. Start by cutting the swordfish into medium-sized cubes and set them aside.
2. Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.
3. Fry the finely chopped garlic in a pan with the extra virgin olive oil. When the garlic turns golden, remove it from the pan if you prefer a milder flavor.
4. Add the swordfish cubes to the pan and brown them over medium-high heat for a couple of minutes.
5. Deglaze with the white wine and let the alcohol evaporate.
6. Lower the heat, add the cherry tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the sauce starts to reduce.
7. Meanwhile, cook the linguine in a large pot of salted water following the cooking times indicated on the package for al dente pasta.
8. Drain the pasta, saving some of the cooking water, and transfer it to the pan with the swordfish and cherry tomato sauce.
9. Toss the linguine in the pan, adding some cooking water if necessary to combine the sauce with the pasta well.
10. Turn off the heat, add the chopped fresh parsley, and if you like, the grated lemon zest for a fresher and more aromatic flavor.

Plate and serve immediately, perhaps accompanying the dish with a glass of fresh white wine that enhances its flavors.
