Absolutely delicious meal with a ton of flavor! I will definitely be making this one again and again!
So good and fresh. My husband is a fisherman and I’m always looking for new ideas on how to prepare the various fish he catches. Thank you for this recipe that he and I both enjoyed and that I intend to prepare again.
My friend and I made this for dinner last night. It was restaurant quality… so tasty! We used half the parsley and only needed a quarter of the pasta for two people, however we did manage to use all of the sauce! This would be a beautiful and tasty dinner for guests.
Easy recipe with savory/salty undertones.
