Ingredients

  • 400g spaghetti
  • 6 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to brush
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 small red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp sun-dried tomato purée
  • Few sprigs of fresh flatleaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 4 (about 150g each) swordfish steaks
  • Lemon wedges to serve

Directions

  1. Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water according to packet instructions.

  2. Meanwhile, place the oil, garlic and chilli in a saucepan over a low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the sun-dried tomato purée and parsley. Drain the spaghetti and toss with the chilli mixture.

  3. Heat a ridged, cast-iron griddle pan until hot. Brush the fish with extra oil and cook for about 2 minutes each side, leaving it a little rare in the centre.

  4. Divide the spaghetti between plates, add a piece of fish and serve with the lemon wedges and a salad.
