CALAMARI FRA DIAVOLO OVER LINGUINE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil of medium-high heat.
• While the water is boiling, make the sauce: In a separate large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon salt and sauté for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent. Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
• Add the tomato paste and mix until evenly combined with the aromatics. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato paste has darkened and thickened. It is okay if some of the paste begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. Deglaze with the red wine and clam juice, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 4-6 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half.
• Add the whole peeled tomatoes and, using a potato masher, break up the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
• Add the calamari and stir to coat in the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the calamari is very tender and the sauce has thickened. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste.
• When the calamari has 6-8 minutes cooking time left, drop the linguine into the boiling water and until just shy of al dente. Reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) of the pasta water.
• Using tongs, transfer the linguine directly to the calamari sauce. Add the reserved pasta water and toss well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the linguine is al dente and well coated in the sauce. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and half of the parsley.
• Transfer the pasta to a large serving platter and garnish with remaining parsley and red pepper flakes.
• Enjoy!
