'SPAGHETTI CCU NIURU DI SICCI' The Spaghetti with Squid Ink is a typical pasta recipe with fish, very common in Sicily. It was initially invented not to waste the squid ink, but the later became a very fine dish, which is nowadays served in the most elegant restaurants.
400 g of spaghetti pasta, 1 cup of tomato sauce (or a bit of tomato extract mixed with 250 g of peeled tomatoes), 2 average size squids, 1 clove of garlic, a bunch of parsley, 6 spoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper.
Remove the bones and the ink (that you will hold by) from the squids; wash them accurately and cut them in thin slices.
Brown the crushed garlic and parsley in a pan with oil, add the squids and mix for a couple of minutes. Add the tomato sauce; put some salt, pepper and cook for 10 minutes. When the sauce will be reduced add the ink.
Add a spoonful of water and cooked on a low flame with the cover, for 30 minutes, stirring from time to time.
Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water; drain them 'al dente' and dress with the sauce.
Variation: instead of the tomato sauce, you can use a bit of tomato extract, diluted in water and mixed with 250 g of peeled tomatoes.
Wine Pairings: A Fine Sicilian Sparkling white wine, as Terzavia, from De Bartoli wine company.
