Creamy, spicy calamari in white wine sauce over pasta. This dish looks like you slaved over it and has such a rich taste that you don't need any sides. Dinner for two but easily doubled. Serve with the rest of the wine!

Ingredients

  • ½ pound linguine pasta

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 8 ounces squid, cleaned and cut into rings and tentacles

  • ¾ cup white wine

  • 3 cherry peppers, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 cup cream

  • ½ cup shredded fresh basil

  • crushed red pepper flakes to taste

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir garlic in hot oil until golden brown. Stir in squid and cook until it turns white. Stir in white wine and cherry peppers; bring to a simmer and cook until wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

  3. Stir cornstarch into cream in a small bowl, then add to simmering calamari. Season with basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; stir until sauce is thickened.

  4. Add pasta to sauce and toss to evenly coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.
