INGREDIENTS

Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 11 + 1/4 oz of calamarata pasta (320 g)

  • 7 oz of squid, cleaned and cut into rings (200 g)

  • 7 oz of swordfish, diced (200 g)

  • 7 oz of shrimp, cleaned (200 g)

  • 14 oz of peeled tomatoes or fresh cherry tomatoes (400 g)

  • 1 + 3/4 oz of Gaeta olives, pitted and halved (50 g)

  • 2 tbsp of capers, rinsed

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 anchovy fillets

  • 1 chili pepper, fresh or dried

  • 4 tbsp of olive oil

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the calamarata until al dente.

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the squid and cook for about 3 minutes. Then add the swordfish and shrimp, sautéing briefly until just cooked. Remove everything from the pan and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, halved chili pepper, parsley stems, capers, olives, and anchovy fillets. Let it all simmer gently over low heat until fragrant.

  • Add the crushed peeled tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes) and cook the sauce for about 20 minutes.

  • Return the seafood and the cooked calamarata to the skillet. Toss everything together over low heat. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to make the sauce creamy and cohesive.

  • Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh parsley.

  • Plate the calamarata and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
