I call this recipe ‘Marvelous Green Sauce.’ It goes specially well with fish, especially if fresh caught. Think of it as a green jade sauce since it also has a splendid green color as well as taste. We recommend you prepare it several hours ahead of serving time to get a full blending of flavors. It’s a wonderful summer meal when served cold over pouched or steamed fish. This time around we added pasta to the dish, using tagliolini, a type of ribbon pasta; but you can also use spaghetti, tagliatelle or capellini, or even rice with this dish. The sauce just makes it perfect.
