This dish looks like you slaved over it and has such a rich taste that you don’t need any sides. It is a creamy spicy calamari in white wine sauce over pasta. Dinner for two but easily doubled. Serve with the rest of the wine!
Ingredients
- ½ pound linguine pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 8 ounces squid, cleaned and cut into rings and tentacles
- ¾ cup white wine
- 3 cherry peppers, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup cream
- crushed red pepper flakes to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup shredded fresh basil
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add crushed garlic, and cook for a few seconds until it turns golden brown. Stir in the squid, and cook until it turns white. Pour in white wine and cherry pepper slices; bring to a simmer, and cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Stir cornstarch into the cream, and add to the simmering calamari. Season with red pepper flakes, basil, salt, and pepper; stir until thickened. To serve, toss pasta with sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
