Squid Ink Pasta Sauce image

Love it or hate it. But I think squid ink pasta rocks! This is a pretty powerful pasta recipe. That squid flavor really hits your palate like mad.

Provided by June d'Arville

Categories     Lunch     Main Course     Starter

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

9 oz dry spaghetti ((250 g))
9 oz fresh baby squid ((250 g))
2 small garlic cloves
4 portions squid ink ((about 4 tbsp))
a handful fresh basil (chopped)
1 tsp paprika powder
3 tbsp olive oil
salt

Steps:

  • First of all: fill a large and high pan with water, season with a good dash of salt and bring this to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the spaghetti. Cook the spaghetti until tender and then drain.
  • Clean the baby squid. Gently pull the head and tentacles out of the body. Then chop off the head right under the eyes of the squid so the tentacles are still in one piece. Discard the part with the eyes and slimy bits still attached.
  • Now stick your fingers inside the body and pull out as much of the slimy guts as you can. Also remove the quill, the kind of plastic spine that is inside. Then rinse the body under cold running tap water and let it drain a little. Slice the squid body into little rings.
  • Set the cleaned squid aside until needed later. Peel the garlic cloves and mash them finely under the blade of your knife. Pour the olive oil in a medium saucepan and add the garlic mash.
  • Place the pan over medium heat and gently fry the garlic for 2 minutes without browning or burning. Then add the cleaned squid to the pan.
  • Stir well and cook for 2 minutes until the squid turns pink. Season with a tiny pinch of salt (the squid ink will also be salty so don't exaggerate) and the spicy paprika powder.
  • Now add the squid ink to the pan (you can keep some of the cooked pink squid aside for garnish if you like).
  • Stir well until the ink is creamy and coats the cooked squid.
  • Add the cooked and drained spaghetti to the ink sauce.
  • Stir well. The spaghetti should be entirely black. Check the seasoning and add extra salt or paprika powder to taste if necessary. Divide the spaghetti over deep plates. Garnish with the freshly chopped basil and the cooked squid if you kept any aside earlier on. Serve hot.

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

¾ cup calamari rings and tentacles
1 lemon, juiced
¾ cup all purpose flour
½ cup corn starch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons food grade activated charcoal
¼ cup black sesame seeds
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon squid ink
6 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, for garnish
4 lemon wedges, for serving
1 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons squid ink
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
black sesame seed, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the calamari: In a large bowl, toss the calamari with the lemon juice. Let sit for 30 minutes to help tenderize the calamari.
  • While the calamari tenderizes, make the aioli: In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, garlic, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, squid ink, and salt until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, activated charcoal, black sesame seeds, and smoked paprika.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and squid ink until fully combined.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
  • Working in batches, transfer the calamari to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to the buttermilk mixture, toss to coat, then return to the flour mixture and toss until fully coated.
  • Immediately transfer the calamari to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining calamari.
  • Transfer the calamari to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and garnish with lemon wedges. Top the aioli with more black sesame seeds and serve alongside.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh squid ink for the best flavor.
  • If you can't find fresh squid ink, you can use frozen or powdered squid ink.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pasta, as it will become mushy.
  • Add the squid ink to the pasta water gradually, so that you can control the color of the pasta.
  • Serve the pasta with your favorite seafood, such as shrimp, clams, or mussels.

Conclusion:

This 4-ingredient squid ink pasta recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and impressive meal. The squid ink gives the pasta a unique black color and a slightly briny flavor.
