Preparation
As I have already mentioned on other occasions, when I decide to make a fish-based recipe, I always prefer to buy it from my trusted fishmonger and have it cleaned on the spot, so I can just relax!
To prepare your delicious penne, take a fairly large pan, sauté one or two cloves of garlic (depending on taste) with a few tablespoons of olive oil.
Then add the squid, previously cleaned, washed well and cut into pieces, and cook for a couple of minutes. Next, add the zucchini, previously cut into small cubes, and the cherry tomatoes cut in half.
Adjust the salt, add a handful of parsley, and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes; everything should remain crunchy.
When the sauce is almost ready, boil the pasta in plenty of salted water. I chose penne, but you can use the shape you prefer.
Drain the pasta into the pan with the sauce, mix everything well, add a nice handful of fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
And voilà, your delicious penne with squid, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes are ready to be enjoyed, bon appétit and see you at the next recipe!
