Baked Squid With Garlic-Anchovy Pasta image

I found this on another recipe site many years ago and it became a favorite back then. I recently came across the recipe again and thought I would share it here. Originally by Tracy Seaman in _An Italian Christmas Meal_; "Food and Wine", December 1994.

I didn't have any anchovies, so I used fish sauce instead. It turned out great!

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less anchovies next time.

I'm not sure I cooked the squid correctly, because it was a little tough. But the pasta was delicious.
