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.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 rib celery, minced
½ shallot, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup water
½ cup white wine
¼ cup lemon juice from concentrate
1 (1.6 oz) package dry garlic and herb sauce mix (such as Knorr®)
1 tablespoon basil pesto
10 ounces calamari rings
½ cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon capers
1 pound taglierini pasta
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in celery, shallot, and garlic, and cook and stir until lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Blend in water, wine, lemon juice, sauce mix, and basil pesto. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  • Stir calamari, frozen peas, and capers into the sauce. Continue to simmer until squid is opaque, checking frequently to avoid overcooking, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook taglierini pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 6 to 9 minutes. Drain.
  • Season calamari mixture with salt and pepper. Serve over cooked pasta.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I will use less red pepper flakes next time.

The sauce was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I will use a lighter sauce next time.

The calamari was a bit chewy, but the sauce was delicious. I think I will try cooking the calamari for a shorter amount of time next time.
