It has been a while since I have blogged and
fortunately I have three good excuses: the festive season, my parents visited
from South Africa and I got married! While my parents were visiting, my Dad
cooked his speciality dish – Calamari Pasta. It is really easy to make with
simple ingredients that combine into a delicious and comforting dish.
500g calamari (you can add 250g Marinara mix if you wish - not frozen, from the fish deli counter)
1 tin of whole tomatoes
2 Tbs olive oil
1 Tbs garlic or 2-3 fresh garlic cloves crushes
1 peeled onion
Salt
Pepper
500g Tagliatellu
Method
Fry onion and garlic in the oil.until onion goes
opaque. Add the calamari and sea food and cook until calamari turns opaque.
Add the tins of tomatoes add plenty of salt and
ground pepper and simmer for about 20- 25 minutes in a closed pan. Remove lid and reduce liquid till it is fairly thick .
Cook the pasta until it is al dente Serve in a warm bowl and spoon the calamari sauce over it.
Serve with a green salad and your favourites wine.
(Note: I call my Dad Tuesday - hence the name "Tuesday's Calamari Pasta"!)
