Tips

• - I generally prepare this pasta dish with emmer tagliatelle as you can see in the photo but you can use the pasta you prefer even short pasta.

Menu planning

• - I don't suggest tagliatelle with radicchio and swordfish for a special event because a lot of people don't like radicchio. So if you want to prepare this pasta dish for your casual get-together you have to ask your guests if they like its ingredients.
• - Tagliatelle with radicchio and swordfish is ideal for your lunch, especially your Sunday lunch.
  On Sundays I have more time to dedicated to cooking and so I like to try new combinations using seasonal ingredients. My recipe was born in this way :))
