Instructions
Take the garlic and finely chop it (1). Take the pachino tomatoes and cut them into two or four parts (2), depending on the size. Then pour 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan (3).
Then take the frying pan and put the oil to warm with the garlic to brown (4). When this begins to color add the pachino tomatoes (5) and start cooking them on average fire. So let it go for a few minutes to cook them (6).
Once you cooked a few minutes, pour the wine (7) with the flame always on medium heat for a short while then lower it slightly. Always be careful that it remains a good consistency (8). Then add 3 or 4 tablespoons of fish broth (9) and cover with the lid leaving a low heat for 15 minutes.

Then chop the parsley. Drain the pasta and add it in the pan (11), stirring well for a couple of minutes and stir well before adding a handful of parsley (12). Finally serve still hot.
