Pasta with squid in cream sauce

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook pasta with squid? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Any pasta is suitable for pasta: long (spaghetti, fettuccini) or medium (penne, farfalle, fusili, penne, etc.). I settled on spaghetti. Tomatoes can use small cherry or larger plum-shaped ones.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut plum–shaped tomatoes into thick circles, cherry - in half.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the raw squid from the skin and entrails and cut into rings. Cut the tails of the squid into strips too. If you use frozen squid, first defrost them. Dry the prepared squid so that the water, once in the boiling oil, does not start shooting.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel and finely chop the garlic. If desired, you can pass the garlic through the press.

5. Step 5:

   

   Wash the parsley, dry it and chop it finely.

6. Step 6:

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, put the garlic, followed by the chopped squid. Fry everything together, stirring, for a couple of minutes over medium heat. If you fry longer, the squid will become rubbery and tasteless, so as soon as the squid takes on a round shape, remove the pan from the heat.

8. Step 7:

   

   In a saucepan in a large amount of salted water, boil the spaghetti until al dente. Put the finished pasta in a colander and let the water drain.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the spaghetti in the pan with the squid. Pour in the cream, add tomatoes, herbs.

11. Step 10:

12. Step 11:
