LINGUINE WITH CALAMARI AND GARLIC
I used to make this all the time and I'd forgotten all about it. This recipe is delicious. You can easily double this if you want to. It makes a great dinner, but also a great 1st course if you have company coming. Takes just minutes to make. It's from 1996 Bon Appetit. I'd serve it with garlic bread and a nice mixed salad. You are going to need to reserve some of the pasta water, so don't forget! ;-)

Steps:
- Put potatoes into a saucepan, and cover with water by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil, and add 1 teaspoon salt. Cook potatoes until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, and let cool.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using a kitchen mallet, pound both sides of calamari bodies a few times to tenderize, then cut in half crosswise, or into thirds if large. (Leave tentacles whole, or halve if large.)
- Toss together calamari, chickpeas, potatoes, olives, half the oregano, the garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and 3 tablespoons oil in a shallow 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Add water and lemon juice. Cover with parchment and then foil, and cut about six vents. Bake 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss bread, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, and remaining oregano and 3 tablespoons oil.
- Uncover baking dish, and sprinkle with bread mixture. Cook, uncovered, until bread is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with oil if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around the kitchen.
- Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. If possible, buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or specialty grocery store.
- Don't Overcook the Calamari: Calamari can quickly become tough and rubbery if it's overcooked. Cook it for just a few minutes, until it's opaque and tender.
- Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. Extra virgin olive oil has the best flavor.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to season your dish to taste. Add more salt, pepper, or garlic if you think it needs it.
Conclusion:
This garlic calamari taglierini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The calamari is tender and flavorful, and the garlic and white wine sauce is creamy and rich. Served over al dente taglierini pasta, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
