Squid sauce pasta, a fragrant seafood main course, rich in flavor and really simple to prepare.
A recipe that brings all the flavors of the Mediterranean to your table, perfect for those who love fish-based dishes but don’t want to give up practicality.
Squid, cheaper but just as tasty as calamari, pair perfectly with a simple tomato sauce enriched with fresh parsley. A simple condiment that clings perfectly to dry egg pasta, which can better hold the sauce.
This recipe is ideal for both a Sunday family lunch and a casual dinner with friends: with just a few ingredients and about twenty minutes at the stove, you can achieve a result that’s finger-licking good. If you have fresh squid available, the taste will be even more authentic, but you can also use frozen ones, as long as they are well cleaned and cut into rings.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I use calamari instead of squid?
Yes, calamari are an excellent alternative to squid. They have a more tender texture and a delicate flavor, but the recipe process remains the same.
What type of pasta is best to use with squid sauce?
I chose dry egg pasta, but you can also use spaghetti, linguine, or paccheri. The important thing is that they hold the sauce well.
Can I add chili to the squid sauce?
Of course! If you like a spicy touch, add fresh or dried chili along with the garlic. It will make the dish even more flavorful.
Also try the Linguine with shrimp and orange cream with basil.
