SQUID INK PASTA WITH CALAMARI AND CHORIZO



Squid Ink Pasta with Calamari and Chorizo image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 ounce ground fresh chorizo
1 ounce red onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 ounces dry white wine
Kosher salt
2 portions Fresh Squid Ink Pasta, about 8 ounces each, recipe follows
4 ounces calamari rings and tentacles (4 squid)
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sliced scallions (on the bias)
10 ounces (about 2 cups) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 whole large eggs (about 4 ounces)
4 yolks from 4 large eggs (about 2 1/2 ounces)
4 teaspoons squid ink
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until well browned, breaking up the sausage as it cooks with a wooden spoon. Add the onions and garlic and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the white wine and continue cooking about 30 seconds; the mixture should not be dry. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook about 1 minute.
  • Turn the chorizo mixture back on. Add the calamari and red pepper flakes and saute until just cooked through. Drain the pasta and add to the pan along with 1 ounce of the pasta water. Cook for 1 minute on high heat to coat the pasta and finish the cooking process. Add the scallions and toss.
  • Place in a bowl and finish with another drizzle of oil and serve.
  • For the squid ink pasta dough: On a large, clean work surface, pour the flour in a mound. Make a well in the center about 4 inches wide. Pour the whole eggs, egg yolks, squid ink and salt into the well and, using a fork, beat thoroughly. When combined, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a wet, sticky dough has formed. Fold any additional flour into the dough as needed while kneading, turning the dough roughly 45 degrees each time, for 2 to 5 minutes.
  • Wrap the ball of dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest on the countertop for 30 minutes.
  • To roll the noodles: Place a sheet of parchment paper on a tray or cutting board and dust lightly with flour. Unwrap the rested dough and cut into quarters. Set one quarter on the work surface and re-wrap the remaining dough. With a rolling pin, flatten the quarter of dough into an oblong shape about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Set a pasta maker to the widest setting and pass the dough three times through the machine at this setting. Narrow the setting by one notch and repeat. Repeat once more (the dough should now have passed through the third widest setting). Continue passing the dough through the rollers, reducing the thickness by one setting each time, until it reaches the desired thickness. It should now be very delicate and elastic to the touch and slightly translucent.
  • To cut the noodles: Adjust the pasta machine to the noodle setting of your choice. Working with one dough segment at a time, feed the dough through the pasta cutter. Alternatively, cut the folded dough by hand with a chef's knife to desired noodle width. Yield: 4 servings.

SQUID INK CALAMARI RECIPE BY TASTY



Squid Ink Calamari Recipe by Tasty image

Take dinner time deep down under the sea with these ink-hued dishes. Start with crispy fried calamari dredged in an activated charcoal batter and served with a garlicky squid ink aioli. Then for the main course, it's homemade squid ink fettuccine in a white wine sauce with plenty of mussels. Finish with a no-bake activated charcoal cheesecake studded with black sesame seeds. The food may be dark, but the flavors are anything but!

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

¾ cup calamari rings and tentacles
1 lemon, juiced
¾ cup all purpose flour
½ cup corn starch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons food grade activated charcoal
¼ cup black sesame seeds
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon squid ink
6 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, for garnish

1 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons squid ink
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
black sesame seed, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the calamari: In a large bowl, toss the calamari with the lemon juice. Let sit for 30 minutes to help tenderize the calamari.
  • While the calamari tenderizes, make the aioli: In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, garlic, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, squid ink, and salt until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, activated charcoal, black sesame seeds, and smoked paprika.

  • Immediately transfer the calamari to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining calamari.
  • Transfer the calamari to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and garnish with lemon wedges. Top the aioli with more black sesame seeds and serve alongside.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your pasta will taste. If you can, buy your seafood from a reputable fishmonger or market.
  • Don't overcook the calamari: Calamari is a delicate seafood that can easily 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 pasta: The type of pasta you use will also affect the taste of your dish. Choose a high-quality pasta that is made with durum wheat.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. You could add other seafood, such as shrimp or mussels, or you could use a different type of pasta, such as tagliatelle or fettuccine.

Conclusion:

Voodoo Calamari Ink Pasta is a delicious and unique dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. It's a great way to use up leftover calamari, and it's also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting pasta recipe, give this one a try.
