Passing by the fish case in the market, I noticed some very fresh swordfish. I decided to buy some and complement the richness of the fish by adding the aromatic flavors of lemon, rosemary and garlic.

Orzo is a rice-shaped pasta. It gives a lighter feel than larger pasta. Fresh spinach gives a vibrant color and adds flavor. I added it after the orzo is cooked so that it just wilts in the heat of the pasta.

HELPFUL HINTS

› Other short-cut pasta such as penne or elbow can be used.

› Two crushed garlic cloves can be used instead of minced garlic.
