Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Pounds (lb) linguine pasta
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 3 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 8 Ounces (oz) squid, divided
• 0.75 Cups white wine
• 3 Whole cherry peppers, sliced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) cornstarch
• 1 Cup cream
• 0.5 Cup basil, shredded
• 1 Pinch crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 0.25 Cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until golden brown.
3. Stir in the squid and cook until it turns white. Add the white wine and sliced cherry peppers, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch into the cream until smooth. Add this mixture to the simmering calamari.
5. Season with shredded basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce thickens.
6. Add the cooked linguine to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
7. Serve hot, sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
