    Calamari on Pasta


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 pounds squid, cleaned
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 (28-ounce) can tomato sauce
    1/4 cup water
    1 cup white wine
    1/2 cup chopped parsley leaves
    1 pound linguini or spaghetti
    Salt and fresh ground black pepper

    Recipe



    Cut squid bodies into 1/2-inch rings. If the tentacles are large, cut them in half vertically. Set aside.

    Heat olive oil and butter together in a large saute pan. Add garlic and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, 1/4 cup water and white wine. Cook sauce over high heat for 5 minutes, until it reduces and thickens.

    Add all but 1 tablespoon of the parsley to the tomato sauce, lower heat, and simmer, uncovered for about 5 minutes.

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add linguini or spaghetti and cook until tender (time will vary according to freshness of pasta, but it should take at least 7 minutes). Drain well, shaking colander gently to remove excess moisture.

    Add calamari to tomato sauce, then remove pan from heat and allow to stand, covered, for 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Add the drained pasta and toss well. To serve, garnish with remaining parsley.
