Pasta (Linguine) with Squid & Rye Bread Sauce
Linguine is paired with tender squid cooked in fish stock and olive oil, finished with garlic and cherry tomatoes. A unique smooth rye bread sauce, made by toasting rye bread and blending it with sautéed shallots, thyme, white wine, and chicken stock, encircles the pasta.
