Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 8 ounces linguine pasta

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 8 ounces squid, cleaned and cut into rings and tentacles

  • ¾ cup white wine

  • 3 cherry peppers, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup thinly sliced fresh basil

  • crushed red pepper flakes to taste

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, cook and stir until golden brown. Add squid; cook until it turns white. Stir in white wine and cherry peppers; bring to a simmer and cook until wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

  3. Stir cornstarch into cream in a small bowl, then add to simmering calamari mixture; season with basil, pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until sauce is thickened.

  4. Add linguine to sauce; toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
