Tagliatelle with prawns and garlic squid

Ingredients

• 800 g Tagliatelle
• 5 Garlic (Cloves, sliced very thinly)
• 1 Cayenne pepper (One chili pepper)
• Extra-virgin olive oil (Quantity not specified)
• Salt (A little; quantity not specified, for seasoning and the cooking water)
• 1 Squid (Large, cut into rings and thoroughly dried; weight not specified)
• 1 kg Raw prawns (Peeled, according to the transcript)

Steps

1. 1

   Slice the garlic cloves very thinly. Thoroughly dry the squid and cut it into rings. Peel the prawns.

2. 2

   Pour extra-virgin olive oil into a frying pan. With the heat set low, at intensity 3–4 out of 9, add the garlic and cayenne pepper to the cold oil. Cook until the garlic is well browned, watching it carefully so it does not burn.

3. 3

   Strain the oil, reserve the browned garlic for serving, and return the strained oil to the pan.

4. 4

   Increase the heat to intensity 6–7 out of 9 and add the squid rings. Cook them for approximately 1 minute without moving them much.

5. 5

   Turn them over and cook for about 1 minute more.

6. 6

   Add the prawns and a little salt. Cook them until they are done to your liking, taking care not to overcook them so they do not become dry. Turn off the heat and set the squid and prawns aside in a bowl.

7. 7

   Pour plenty of water into a large saucepan and add a little salt. Bring the water to a boil.

8. 8

   Add the tagliatelle and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or according to the cooking time recommended by the manufacturer, until done to your liking.

9. 9

   Transfer the tagliatelle to a large bowl, lightly drained. Add the squid, prawns, and the reserved oil with its juices.

10. 10

    Stir well to combine everything and emulsify the sauce.

11. 11

    Serve sprinkled with the reserved garlic chips.

Notes
