Steps:
- Add the olive oil, smashed garlic and red chile flakes to a large saute pan. Turn the heat to medium-high and allow the garlic to become fragrant and the oil heated. Once heated, add the tomatoes and oregano, and season with salt. Stir to combine. Cook until the tomatoes release their water, 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine. Cook until the wine is bubbling and has begun to reduce, about 1 minute. Add the squid, stir to combine, and cook until the squid becomes opaque in color--be careful not to overcook it! Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook for about 2 minutes. Remove the pasta from the water and add it directly to the sauce along with about 2 tablespoons of the pasta water, some more oregano, some grated parm and a drizzle of big fat finishing oil. Gently toss to combine.
- Plate and garnish with more grated parm.
SQUID INK PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE
Steps:
- Add the shrimp shells to a small pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer until it has reduced by half. Strain and keep on the heat at a low simmer until ready to use.
- Add the olive oil, fennel, onions, a pinch of salt and crushed red pepper flakes in a saute pan over medium heat. Let the fennel and onions cook until translucent. Then add the tomatoes, garlic, oregano and white wine. Let it reduce until there is about 1/4 cup of liquid left. Then add the squid, shrimp and 1/2 cup of the shrimp stock. Stir in the parsley.
- Cook the fresh squid ink pasta in salted boiling water until tender, but still has a bite. Add the cooked pasta to the saute pan and toss to coat. Garnish the pasta with fennel fronds, a drizzle of olive oil and grated Parmesan.
- Mound the flour on a clean, dry work surface. Make a hole (this is also called a well) in the center of the flour pile that is about 8 inches wide (bigger is definitely is better here). Crack the eggs into the hole and add the egg yolk, olive oil, squid ink and some salt.
- Using a fork, beat the eggs together with the olive oil, squid ink and salt; then begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture, being careful not to break the sides of the well or else the egg mixture will run all over your board and you will have a big mess! Also, don't worry about the lumps. When enough flour has been incorporated into the egg mixture that it will not run all over the place, begin to use your hands to really get everything well combined. If the mixture is tight and dry, wet your hands and begin kneading with wet hands. When the mixture has really come together into a homogeneous mixture, THEN you can start kneading.
- When kneading, it is VERY important to put your body weight into it; get on top of the dough to really stretch it and not to tear the dough. Using the heels of your palms, roll the dough to create a very smooooooth, supple dough. When done, the dough should look VERY smooth and feel almost velvety. Kneading will usually take from 8 to 10 minutes for an experienced kneader, or 10 to 15 minutes for an inexperienced kneader. Put your body weight into it; you need to knead! This is where the perfect, toothsome texture of your pasta is formed. Get in there and have fun!
- When the pasta has been kneaded to the perfect consistency, wrap it in plastic and let it rest for at least 20 to 30 minutes. If using immediately, do not refrigerate.
- Roll and cut the pasta into the desired shape.
- How smooth and supple!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375. Using a kitchen mallet, pound both sides of calamari bodies a few times. Insert a sharp knife into calamari bodies, cut along seam, and open like a book. Cut in half lengthwise, then on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick strips. (Leave tentacles whole, or halve if large.) Toss strips and tentacles with lemon juice in a nonreactive bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan or a 13-inch paella pan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add noodles, and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Reserve pan.
- Bring stock and squid ink to a low simmer in a saucepan.
- Heat butter and remaining tablespoon oil in the saute pan over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add tomato and paprika, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in noodles, calamari, stock mixture, 1 tablespoon parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer to oven. Bake until noodles on top begin to curl, about 10 minutes. Top with remaining tablespoon parsley, and drizzle with oil. Serve with allioli.
