Calamari Recipes: Two Delicious Seafood Pasta Recipes
These two calamari recipes were given to me by Ileana. She is an accomplished cook, an expert of traditional Le Marche recipes and a refined gourmet, as you can appreciate in her picture below. The seafood pasta recipes she gave me, are easy, delicious and make a meal on their own.
Noodles with Calamari, Shrimps and Artichokes
For 4 people you’ll need:450 gr. (1 pound) of noodles like TAGLIATELLE 300 gr. (11 ounces) of cleaned CALAMARI 300 gr. (11 ounces) of cleaned SHRIMPS 1 ONION 3 ARTICHOKES 1 cup of vegetable BROTH 1 glass of WHITE WINE 3 spoons of OLIVE OIL 1/2 cup of liquid CREAM SALT PEPPER
Cut the onion and the calamari in thin slices and cook them in a deep skillet on medium fire with the oil, the onion and half a glass of wine. Just before the wine is completely evaporated and the calamari are ready, add the shrimps.
Clean the artichokes, discarding all the hard leaves and slice them in small pieces. Cook them on a low flame with half a glass of wine, a cup of broth, salt and pepper. When the artichokes are tender, make a thick sauce of them with a blender.
Cook the tagliatelle al dente, drain and add them to the skillet with the calamari. Add the artichoke sauce, the cream, a little fresh pepper and toss over medium heat until the noodles are well coated with the sauce. Serve immediately.
