Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

21 ounces fresh orecchiette pasta
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ shallot, thinly sliced
12 ounces small squid, cleaned and cut into strips
½ cup white wine
6 tomatoes, quartered
2 zucchini, cut into long, thin strips
salt
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orecchiette in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 3 to 6 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook shallot in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in squid; cook until coated with oil, about 2 minutes. Pour in wine; simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir tomatoes and zucchini into the saucepan; season with salt. Cook until softened slightly, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Stir orecchiette into the saucepan. Cook until coated with tomato and zucchini mixture, adding reserved cooking water a little at a time to make a moist sauce, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with parsley and black pepper.
