Puttanesca sauce is a spicy mix of tomatoes, onions, capers, black, olives, and other aromatics, all cooked in olive oil. It’s usually served with pasta, and together, they’re the perfect base for sous vide swordfish. Swordfish is a large, firm, mildly fatty fish that’s great for cooking in the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker because it absorbs flavors really well. For this preparation, the fish is cooked with puttanesca sauce. We recommend tossing it with 1 pound of spaghetti, cooked to al dente and 1 cup of loosely-packed basil leaves.

    Combine the swordfish, cherry tomatoes, olives, olive oil, capers, anchovy paste, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the moist setting. Place in the water bath and set the timer for 1 hour.

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. Generously season the water with salt.

      When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Pour the contents of the bag in the bowl with the spaghetti. Add the basil and toss to coat the pasta with the sauce. Serve.
