RECIPES: PACCHERI WITH SWORDFISH AND PISTACHIO GRITS

To prepare this dressing you will need to start by dicing a slice of Swordfish, previously stripped of skin and bones. In a nonstick pan add a drizzle of oil and a clove of poached garlic. Let it brown, remove it and add the cherry tomatoes cut in half. At the same time start cooking the Paccheri in plenty of salted water. Add the Swordfish to the sauce, season with salt and pepper and deglaze with white wine.
