Long Fusilli with Squid Sauce is a tasty seafood dish, simple to make. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

  • 350 g of long fusilli
  • 500 g of squid, cleaned and cut into rings or strips

Preparation

  1. In a large pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the garlic (and chili pepper if used) until it becomes golden.

  2. Add the squid to the pan and let them cook over high heat for a few minutes until they lightly brown.

  3. Deglaze with the white wine allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

  4. Add the tomato puree. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Lower the heat, cover, and let the squid cook for about 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender.

  6. Meanwhile, cook the fusilli in a pot with plenty of salted water until al dente.

  7. Drain the pasta and transfer it to the pan with the squid sauce.

  8. Mix the ingredients well over low heat for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
