SQUID INK PASTA WITH ALLIOLI VERDE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Using a kitchen mallet, pound both sides of calamari bodies a few times. Insert a sharp knife into calamari bodies, cut along seam, and open like a book. Cut in half lengthwise, then on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick strips. (Leave tentacles whole, or halve if large.) Toss strips and tentacles with lemon juice in a nonreactive bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan or a 13-inch paella pan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add noodles, and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Reserve pan.
• Bring stock and squid ink to a low simmer in a saucepan.
• Heat butter and remaining tablespoon oil in the saute pan over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add tomato and paprika, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in noodles, calamari, stock mixture, 1 tablespoon parsley, salt, and pepper.
• Transfer to oven. Bake until noodles on top begin to curl, about 10 minutes. Top with remaining tablespoon parsley, and drizzle with oil. Serve with allioli.
