Calamari Pasta
Ingredients
Method
-
Clean calamari, remove skin and slice into rings.
-
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
-
Add the calamari quickly and sauté for just 1–2 minutes until they turn opaque.
-
Remove immediately and set aside (don’t overcook now, or they’ll toughen).
-
In the same pan, lower the heat, add another tbsp of olive oil.
-
Sauté the garlic, anchovy and chilli for a few minutes, just until fragrant.
-
Add the wine and let simmer until reduced by half.
-
Add the tomato paste, cherry tomatoes, olives, 1/4 cup water and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes until the sauce thickens.
-
Return the seared calamari to the sauce and gently simmer for just 5-8 minutes until calamari are tender.
-
Stir in chopped parsley and cooked pasta and serve immediately.
-
Enjoy!
Note
Calamari are tender either cooked very quickly or long (40+ min). Anything in between makes them chewy.
