BAKED SQUID WITH GARLIC-ANCHOVY PASTA
I found this on another recipe site many years ago and it became a favorite back then. I recently came across the recipe again and thought I would share it here. Originally by Tracy Seaman in _An Italian Christmas Meal_; "Food and Wine", December 1994.

Steps:

- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
- In a large bowl, toss the squid with breadcrumbs, oregano, pepper and 1 tsp salt.
- Spread the squid in a large baking dish in a single layer and sprinkle with any leftover crumbs. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the olive oil over the squid. Bake for 10 minutes or until the squid is golden brown and crunchy.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk the garlic and anchovy paste into the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and bring to a simmer over low heat.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook to al dente according to package (about 3 minutes).
- Drain the pasta and return it to the saucepan adding the anchovy sauce and the butter. Toss to coat.

FRIED SQUID WITH ANCHOVY DRESSING AND PARSLEY PESTO
Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Parsley pesto: In a food processor, combine all ingredients except the oil, and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fried Squid: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and water until smooth. The batter should be just thick enough to adhere to the squid, season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat oil in a large saucepan to 375 degrees F. Season squid with salt and pepper and dip into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Fry the squid until crisp on all sides and golden brown, remove and drain on paper towels. Serve with anchovy dressing and pesto.
