Squid Ink Pasta with Calamari image

Squid ink pasta with a delicious, light, white wine butter cream sauce. Just made this tonight and had to share. We all loved it, even my husband who hates squid, and my 3-year-old asked for seconds!

Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon avocado oil, or as needed
2 teaspoons minced garlic
5 squid, cleaned and cut into 1/2-inch rings
salt and ground black pepper to taste
10 cups water, divided
1 cup white wine
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked black squid ink pasta
1 shallot, chopped
2 scallions, sliced diagonally
2 tablespoons butter
1 splash white wine
1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon sweet paprika
¼ teaspoon dried roasted garlic
¼ teaspoon Parisian herb blend
1 pint heavy whipping cream, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat avocado oil in a deep skillet over medium heat; cook and stir minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in squid and a pinch of salt. Pour 2 cups water and 1 cup wine over squid, ensuring squid is fully submerged. Cover skillet and bring liquid to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until squid is tender, about 40 minutes.
  • Bring 8 cups generously salted water to a boil in a pot. Cook squid ink pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain, reserving pasta water.
  • Remove squid from skillet and place in a bowl. Add shallot and scallions to skillet; cook and stir in the remaining liquid for about 3 minutes. Stir in butter, a splash of white wine, lemon juice, basil, paprika, dried roasted garlic, Parisian herb blend, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour in cream until sauce reaches desired color and consistency.
  • Mix squid into the sauce and cook until sauce reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes. Add some of the reserved pasta water if sauce gets too thick. Add pasta to sauce; toss to coat lightly with sauce.

This dish was just okay. The squid ink pasta was a bit too salty for my taste, and the calamari was a bit tough. The sauce was also a bit bland. I would not make this dish again.
