Ingredients

1 pound penne pasta

1/3 cup olive oil plus 2 tablespoons

3 cloves garlic minced

1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (plus more to taste)

1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped, plus 1/3 cup

4 Japanese eggplants ends trimmed, thinly sliced lengthwise, then cut into squares

1 pound swordfish steaks skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/3 cup white wine

2 cups halved teardrop or cherry tomatoes (red yellow or a blend)

Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

3/4 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly ground


Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta. 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. Using the same pan, over medium-high heat, add the 2 remaining tablespoons of olive oil and cook the swordfish until opaque, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and cook until almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the tomatoes, eggplant, cooked pasta, the remaining 1/3 cup parsley and stir. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

I made this tonight, without eggplant. I was looking for something to do with my swordfish steaks. My 4 kids loved this so much there are no left overs! I can't wait to try it with the eggplant. Delicious!!!

I used butter instead. quick prep time, maybe 30 minutes; I cooked somewhat longer to get wine reduced. Really, really good.

Once the prep work is done this takes very little time. I increased the relative proportion of swordfish and tomatoes, leaving the amount of eggplant and pasta the same, but this is a matter of taste.
