CALAMARI FRA DIAVOLO OVER LINGUINE RECIPE BY TASTY



Calamari Fra Diavolo Over Linguine Recipe by Tasty image

In this classic Italian pasta dish, tender squid rings and tentacles simmer in a thick and spicy tomato sauce-fra diavolo means "brother devil" in Italian. Toss it with linguine, top with more parsley and red pepper flakes, and serve family style. We recommend using clam juice to enhance the seafood flavor, but chicken stock works too!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more as needed
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
¼ cup tomato paste
½ cup full bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
½ cup clam juice, or chicken broth
1 can whole peeled tomato, drained
1 lb calamari rings and tentacles, cleaned
¾ lb dried linguine
2 tablespoons lemon
½ cup fresh italian parsley, roughly chopped, divided

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil of medium-high heat.
  • While the water is boiling, make the sauce: In a separate large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon salt and sauté for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent. Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the tomato paste and mix until evenly combined with the aromatics. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato paste has darkened and thickened. It is okay if some of the paste begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. Deglaze with the red wine and clam juice, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 4-6 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Add the whole peeled tomatoes and, using a potato masher, break up the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  • Add the calamari and stir to coat in the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the calamari is very tender and the sauce has thickened. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste.
  • When the calamari has 6-8 minutes cooking time left, drop the linguine into the boiling water and until just shy of al dente. Reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) of the pasta water.
  • Using tongs, transfer the linguine directly to the calamari sauce. Add the reserved pasta water and toss well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the linguine is al dente and well coated in the sauce. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and half of the parsley.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large serving platter and garnish with remaining parsley and red pepper flakes.
  • Enjoy!

CALAMARI FRA DIAVOLO OVER LINGUINE



Calamari Fra Diavolo over Linguine image

I like calamari, but only the rings (nothing with tentacles please). I found some frozen calamari rings in the Seafood Department of my supermarket and bought them on impulse. I then had to figure out what to do with them, rather than just fry them. Here's what I came up with.

CALAMARI FRA DIAVOLO OVER LINGUINE

Categories     Sauce     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for pasta pot
1 pound linguine
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 teaspoon peperoncino flakes
28-ounce can plum tomatoes, preferably San Marzano, crushed by hand
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pound cleaned calamari, bodies cut into 1-inch rings, tentacles roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for pasta. Stir the linguine into the boiling water.
  • Pour 4 tablespoons of the olive oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, toss in the sliced garlic, and cook until it sizzles, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with the peperoncino, let it toast for a minute, then pour in the tomatoes. Slosh out the tomato can with a cup of pasta water, add that to the sauce, and stir. Season with the oregano and salt. Bring to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, to thicken the sauce and develop the flavors, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • When the sauce is ready, stir in the calamari and simmer until just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. When the pasta is al dente, drain and toss it directly into the sauce. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, toss well to combine, and serve immediately.
