Pasta with baby squid, a first course that is tasty and perfect for any occasion, even the most special ones. I used gnocchetti sardi, but you can use penne, paccheri, or even spaghetti or linguine. Pasta with squid and cherry tomatoes is perfect in any season. To prepare the sauce with baby squid, I used mixed yellow and red cherry tomatoes to add color to the dish, but only red ones are fine too. It’s important to use sweet cherry tomatoes that give that extra touch to the dish. I recommend trying other RECIPES WITH SQUID and cuttlefish.
