Best Fettuccine With Swordfish Recipes

NEAPOLITAN PASTA WITH SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Place a large sauté pan (4 quarts or more) on high heat, add 3 tablespoons of the oil and when it's mighty hot (a piece of fish should sizzle) add the swordfish, spreading the pieces around in the pan in a single layer. Sear about 30 seconds until just starting to brown. Use a spatula to turn the fish, and cook another minute or so. Season with salt and pepper and remove to a bowl. Reduce heat to medium.
• Add another tablespoon of the oil and the capers and cook a couple of minutes until the capers start to crisp and brown. Turn the heat to low, stir in the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes until it barely starts to color. Add the tomatoes and olives. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes to combine the flavors, then turn off the heat. While the tomatoes are simmering bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until it's al dente. Remove 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it to the sauté pan.
• Reheat the pasta in the sauce on medium-low heat, folding everything together with a big spoon. Add a half cup or more of the pasta water to give the tomatoes a nice saucelike consistency, stirring until the pasta is well coated. Gently fold in the swordfish and the lemon zest, and stir until you have everything well mixed and heated through. Add more pepper if you wish; the mixture is not likely to demand salt. Transfer to a warm serving dish, scatter parsley on top and serve.

• Meanwhile, place a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1/3 cup olive oil, garlic, red chili flakes, and 1/4 cup parsley. Stir and cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggplant and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the eggplant from the pan and set aside. Season the swordfish cubes with salt and pepper.

DRY FETTUCCINE WITH SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Heat pasta-cooking water-at least 6 quarts, with 1 tablespoon of salt-in the large pot as you cook the fish and sauce.
• Cut the swordfish into small cubes, 1 inch or less, and season lightly with salt. Pour 6 tablespoons of the olive oil into the big skillet, and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, scatter the fish cubes in the pan. Toss and turn them for a minute or a little longer, just until they are opaque. Remove the fish chunks to a plate, and sprinkle a few pinches of salt on top.
• Stir the chopped onion in the skillet, sprinkle over it 1/4 teaspoon salt and the peperoncino, and cook for 3 minutes or so, until wilted and sizzling. Pour the tomatoes into the pan, stir, rinse the tomato container with 1/2 cup hot water, and stir that in too. Raise the heat, and bring the tomatoes to a boil quickly. Stir in the rest of the salt and the shredded mint, and adjust the heat to maintain a gentle boil.
• Cook the sauce for 5 minutes, then slide in the swordfish chunks and any juices on the plate. Tumble them in the sauce to heat and cook for just a minute, then turn off the heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the bavette until quite al dente. Return the sauce to a simmer (if it's off the heat) when the pasta is ready. Lift the bavette from the pot with tongs, drain briefly, and drop into the skillet. Toss pasta and sauce together for a minute or so, incorporating the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Adjust the seasonings, and serve, heaping the bavette into warm bowls, and spooning the saucy chunks of swordfish (which fall to the bottom of the skillet) on top.
