Herbed Halibut Taglietelle

Fresh Halibut was on sale this week at our local Whole Foods but another white fish would work just fine with this delicious sauce.  A very simple preparation but a very delicious and impressive presentation which would be great for guests! I served the fish with a side of broccolini sauteed in olive oil and garlic. Absolutely delicious and super healthy!

3/4 lb Halibut
salt and pepper
2 Tbs olive oil
1/3 c flat leaf parsley
7 anchovy fillets
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 c dry white wine (always use one you would be willing to drink)

8 oz taglietelle

Preheat your oven to 500F.  Cook taglietelle in salted, boiling water for 4 minutes (it will finish cooking in the oven).  Drain, set aside and reserve 1/2c of cooking water.

Sprinkle Halibut with salt and pepper.  Heat oil in medium oven and stovetop safe dish.  Add garlic and stir until fragrant. Add parsley and anchovy fillets and saute over medium-high heat until anchovies are melted.  Add the fish and cook for about 1 minute per side.  Add wine and simmer until the amount is reduced by half.  Add the reserved pasta liquid and arrange the pasta around the sides of the fish.  Place dish in the oven for about 6 minutes or until fish is fully cooked.  Serve immediately.
