This swordfish pasta stir fry recipe is full of flavor. It's higher in calories and WW points than some, but it will fill you up with the pasta, veggies and
swordfish.
This works well with just about any fish, so if swordfish is not readily available, try cod, halibut or your favorite.
The health benefits of fish are plenty, so be sure to add this to your weekly menu.

Tips
This recipe states that it serves 4 but we had leftovers (with 3 big eaters). My guess is it will serve about five to six people depending on their
appetite.
You can use any large pasta noodle for this recipe like Mostaccioli, or other medium pasta shape.
