How to prepare: Pasta with mullet sauce


Put a large pot of salted water on the stove and boil the pasta. Briefly heat the Livorno-style mullets and add the olives, cut in half or rounds, and the desalted capers. Cook over low heat for a few minutes.


Remove the fish from the pan and fillet it delicately, taking care to remove all the bones. Return the pulp to the pan and move it slightly. Drain the half sleeves and transfer them directly to the pan with the sauce.


Sauté them for a couple of minutes, stirring gently so that the sauce is evenly distributed. Divide the pasta with mullet sauce into individual plates and serve immediately.
