Cut the amberjack into chunks, removing the skin and bones. Wash and cut the cherry tomatoes. Chop the basil and parsley. I used amberjack slices but you can also use the whole small amberjack by filleting it.
Brown the garlic with the oil.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the garlic.
Add the amberjack chunks and salt.
Cook for 5 minutes.
Add the chopped mezz paccheri, basil and parsley to the sauce.
Stir well to combine, and add a little of the pasta cooking liquid if it dries out too much.
The mezzipaccheri are ready tasty and fragrant with the sea! Enjoy your meal!
