Squids and Cuttlefish alla Livornese with Bimby
Today I present to you a dish that my grandmother used to make for me when I was a child.
I don’t know why she called them Livornese squids, while she was from Panarea.
My grandfather would catch the squids or cuttlefish, and she would prepare both with this recipe, then she’d dress the pasta with them.
I wanted to transform this recipe using the procedure with all Bimby models, it wasn’t difficult, and the result is very close to the original.
With the sauce, you can dress the pasta.
Only recently has the dish been paired with calamarata, the typical ring-shaped pasta, because it mimics the rings of the squids themselves.
