Preparation

How to prepare Paccheri with Cherry Tomatoes and Cod

To prepare paccheri with cherry tomatoes and cod, first wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half lengthwise 1. In a pan, pour a swirl of oil and the 2 cloves of garlic in their skins 2. Let them brown and then add the cherry tomatoes 3.

Sauté them for about 15 minutes 4 and in the meantime chop the parsley 5. Add the cod fillet to the pan 6.

Remove the garlic 7, add the Taggiasca olives 8 and the tomato paste 9.

Add the oregano 10, a pinch of salt 11, and the basil leaves 12.

Also add the chopped parsley 13 and after about 15 minutes, crush the cod with a wooden spoon 14 to crumble it. Cook the paccheri in plenty of salted boiling water 15.

Set aside the cooking water, drain the paccheri al dente, and transfer them directly into the sauce 16. Add a ladle of the cooking water and mix, adding a drizzle of oil 18.

Also pour in some chopped parsley 19 and toss the pasta well. Plate, adding more chopped parsley 20 and serve your paccheri with cod 21.

How to store

We recommend consuming the paccheri immediately. Alternatively, they can be stored in the refrigerator for one day.

Tips

If you prefer, you can add desalted capers to the sauce or a chili pepper for a spicy touch!

We recommend using a stainless steel pan to quickly caramelize the sugars in the cherry tomatoes.
