- Meanwhile, in a 5- to 6-qt pan, cook linguine in 3 qts boiling water just till tender to bite (1 to 2 min); or possibly cook according to package directions. Drain pasta well. Set 2 Tbsp. of the tomato mix aside; lightly mix remaining mix with warm pasta.
- Divide pasta among 4 hot plates; top each serving with a piece of fish, then top fish proportionately with reserved tomato mix.
- This recipe serves 4.
- Comments: This quick, stylish dish is just right for a summer's evening. While you saute/fry the halibut steaks, also cook some fresh linguine; then top both fish and pasta with a fresh-tasting room-temperature tomato sauce.
