Calamari in a Creamy White Wine Sauce
Calamari in a Creamy White Wine Sauce pairs tender squid with linguine in a peppery white wine–basil cream that’s rich yet lively. Garlic, cherry peppers, and a touch of red pepper flakes add gentle heat, while Parmesan rounds it out. Ideal for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special date-night pasta.
