Calamari in Creamy Wine Sauce image

If you love calamari, you will LOVE this one! Light, flavorful and super delicious! I sub 1/2 and 1/2 for the cream and still love it as much! The original recipe was for 1/2 pound of pasta but I increase the pasta to 1 pound without increasing the other ingredients because my family doesn't like things as "saucy". If yours does, either 1/2 the pasta or double the sauce!

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb linguine
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
8 ounces squid, cleaned and cut into rings and tentacles
3/4 cup white wine
3 cherry peppers, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup cream
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add crushed garlic, and cook for a few seconds until it turns golden brown. Stir in the squid, and cook until it turns white. Pour in white wine and cherry pepper slices; bring to a simmer, and cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
