Ingredients

• Spaghetti - 160 grams
• Swordfish steak - 200 grams
• Cherry tomatoes - 200 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Dry white wine - 100 ml
• Fresh basil - 10 grams, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Cut the swordfish steak into bite-sized pieces and add it to the skillet, cooking until it is lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
6. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the sauce to reduce slightly.
