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:
1/2 pound linguine pasta |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
3 cloves garlic, crushed |
8 ounces squid, cleaned and cut into rings and tentacles |
3/4 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 |
1/2 cup shredded fresh basil |
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
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.
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.
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.
