1. To make the pesto: Peel the garlic and place in food processor along with pine nuts, oil, parsley and water. Mix until combined.
2. Cook the pasta for 10-15 minutes and prepare the mackerel by cutting it into bit sized chunks.
3. To a hot pan add the tomatoes, oil and mackerel and cook for 5-10 minutes.
4. Add the pasta to the pan and stir in the watercress so it just starts to 'wilt.' Add as much pesto as desired, and garnish parmesan cheese. Top with lemon juice and black pepper (optional).
