Ingredients
- 16 oz Strozzapreti Pasta preferably fresh
- 1 lb baby squid and tentacles cleaned into 1/2-inch rings (except the tentacles)
- 2 large ripe tomatoes seedless and diced
- 2 shallots diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 2 garlic cloves thinly minced
- 1 tbs basil chopped
- 1 tbs parsley chopped
- chili flakes to taste
- 3 tbs olive oil
- 1/4 /4 cup dry white wine preferably Pinot grigio. Don’t use Chardonnay!
Instructions
For the Squid Sauce
- In a 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil. Add shallots and sauté until translucent, add garlic and stir to combine.
- Add parsley and basil and stir to get the flavors out.
- Add the diced tomatoes and chili flakes, let the tomatoes cook for about 5 minutes until some water has evaporated. Add salt and pepper.
- Add squid and stir, add the wine and let them cook for about 8 minutes, stirring continuously, do not overcook or they’ll get rubbery.
- Let sauce reduce and water evaporate about 2 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and set aside.
For the Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add pasta and cook until al dente.
- Cook it for about 8 or 9 minutes if dry or 3 or 4 minutes if fresh.
- Drain the pasta, transfer into the pan with the squid sauce.
- Turn on the heat on medium and mix it all together.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Raw squid is tender, but if cooked improperly it loses its tenderness. To keep its tenderness, squid must be cooked either very briefly over a strong flame, or when it is fried or grilled for a long time –45 minutes or more– over very low heat. Any other cooking procedure produces a squid with rubbery consistence.
