Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds squid, cleaned
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
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 freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut squid bodies in half lengthwise and then cut in half widthwise. If the tentacles are large, cut them in half lengthwise. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large saute pan. Add garlic and shallot 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. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add all but 1 tablespoon of the parsley to the tomato sauce, lower heat, and simmer, uncovered, for about 15 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, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until just cooked through. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt and pepper, if desired. Add the drained pasta and toss well. To serve, garnish with remaining parsley.

CALAMARI FRA DIAVOLO OVER LINGUINE RECIPE BY TASTY



Calamari Fra Diavolo Over Linguine Recipe by Tasty image

In this classic Italian pasta dish, tender squid rings and tentacles simmer in a thick and spicy tomato sauce-fra diavolo means "brother devil" in Italian. Toss it with linguine, top with more parsley and red pepper flakes, and serve family style. We recommend using clam juice to enhance the seafood flavor, but chicken stock works too!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more as needed
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
¼ cup tomato paste
½ cup full bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
½ cup clam juice, or chicken broth
1 can whole peeled tomato, drained
1 lb calamari rings and tentacles, cleaned
¾ lb dried linguine
2 tablespoons lemon
½ cup fresh italian parsley, roughly chopped, divided

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil of medium-high heat.
  • While the water is boiling, make the sauce: In a separate large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon salt and sauté for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent. Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the tomato paste and mix until evenly combined with the aromatics. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato paste has darkened and thickened. It is okay if some of the paste begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. Deglaze with the red wine and clam juice, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 4-6 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Add the whole peeled tomatoes and, using a potato masher, break up the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  • Add the calamari and stir to coat in the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the calamari is very tender and the sauce has thickened. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste.
  • When the calamari has 6-8 minutes cooking time left, drop the linguine into the boiling water and until just shy of al dente. Reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) of the pasta water.
  • Using tongs, transfer the linguine directly to the calamari sauce. Add the reserved pasta water and toss well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the linguine is al dente and well coated in the sauce. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and half of the parsley.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large serving platter and garnish with remaining parsley and red pepper flakes.
  • Enjoy!

LINGUINE WITH CALAMARI AND GARLIC



Linguine With Calamari and Garlic image

I used to make this all the time and I'd forgotten all about it. This recipe is delicious. You can easily double this if you want to. It makes a great dinner, but also a great 1st course if you have company coming. Takes just minutes to make. It's from 1996 Bon Appetit. I'd serve it with garlic bread and a nice mixed salad. You are going to need to reserve some of the pasta water, so don't forget! ;-)

GARLIC CALAMARI TAGLIERINI



Garlic Calamari Taglierini image

I love light sauces over pasta and came up with this one with squid to go over taglierini. I usually have on hand either fish or clam base and would substitute a broth for water. This goes good with a loaf of Italian bread for dipping into the sauce.
