Pesce all’Acqua Pazza #SundaySupper

I make Pesce all’Acqua Pazza (Fish in Crazy Water) when I’m homesick for my Italian family. It’s so easy and flavorful. I can make this and close my eyes and I’m sitting on the patio at Il Ritrovo overlooking the sea.

One thing I’ve learned cooking alongside the Italians is its quality over quantity, prepare it simply and enjoy it with friends. How can you go wrong with that?

  1. In a large skillet with a lid, combine the olive oil and garlic and sauté until the garlic turns golden, about 5 minutes.
