Pasta and Seafood

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bucatini

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the bucatini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and Calabrian chili, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Mussels and Calamari

    Add the cleaned mussels and sliced calamari to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine and cover the skillet. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mussels have opened and the calamari is tender.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta with Sauce

    Stir in the squid ink to the seafood mixture. Add the cooked bucatini and toss to coat. If the pasta seems dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
