Fusilli with White Ragù and Swordfish

Fusilli with white ragù and swordfish.
The dish I propose today is very light, digestible, and above all good and very quick to make. The time it takes to boil the water, cook the pasta, and it’s done.
If you suddenly have guests for dinner and want to impress them, here is this “white ragù” that will leave them speechless.
You can use any type of fish for this; I used the swordfish my husband catches, but you can also use any type of frozen fish.
