Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Slice pancetta into half-inch pieces. Over medium heat, cook pancetta in large sauté pan until it begins to brown and render. Add garlic, cherry tomatoes and olive oil and cook until they begin to blister and burst.
  3. Add pasta to boiling water and cook fusilli according to package instructions.
  4. Add halibut to pan; lightly season with salt and sauté over medium heat, turning pieces over for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned and just cooked. Fish should be flaky and fork tender.
  5. Roughly chop pistachios and thinly slice Brussels sprouts, removing root ends.
  6. Add pistachios, Brussels sprouts and arugula to sauté pan. Stir on medium heat until greens are wilted, but for no more than two minutes.
  7. Drain cooked pasta and add to sauté pan; gently stir in chopped parsley and a pinch of salt. Add pepper to taste. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with extra parsley leaves.
