Ìý

Prep time 20 mins (plus overnight resting for pasta)

Cooking time 15-20 mins

Ìý

Ingredients

16 baby squid, cleaned (1 x 3" or 2.5 x 8cm)

50g fresh red chilli, chopped

50g fresh parsley, chopped

20g garlic, sliced

150g tomato passata

1 tbsp olive oil

Extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle over top

10g fennel cress, to dress (or chopped parsley or fennel leaves)

16 wooden toothpicks

ÌýÌý

For the filling

60gÌýÌýÌýÌý golden sultanas

60gÌýÌýÌýÌý pine nuts

120gÌýÌý squid

30gÌýÌýÌýÌý garlicÌýÌý

130gÌýÌý prawns

40gÌýÌýÌýÌý sundried tomato

20gÌýÌýÌýÌý parsley

zest of 1 lemon

Ìý

For the Bigoli (Nigel says don't worry if you buy fresh buccatini, or dried tagliatelli or spaghetti)

225g semolina

6 large or 8 small egg yolks

11g squid ink

40-50ml water

Ìý

Method

1.ÌýÌýÌý Combine the ingredients for the pasta together in a bowl, remove & knead thoroughly until as smooth a texture as possible is achieved. Don't add the water all at once. A little at a time as you mix the pasta ingredients. It should not be a wet dough & 30-40ml might be sufficient.

2.ÌýÌýÌý Put back into the bowl & cover in cling film & leave to rest overnight in a cool place, or in fridge.

3.ÌýÌýÌý Roll out the pasta into thin sheets about 2mm in thickness & 20cm long. Cut the sheets into strips about 20cm long & ½ cm wide.

4.ÌýÌýÌý Blitz all the ingredients for the filling together until you achieve a homogenous but rough texture.

5.ÌýÌýÌý Clean the baby squid & stuff with the filling (use a piping bag if you have one, or if not, a tsp).

6.ÌýÌýÌý Use a toothpick to close the squid up.

7.ÌýÌýÌý Cook the Bigoli in saucepan of salted boiling water until cooked but al dente (approx. 5-6 mins).

8.ÌýÌýÌý In a separate pan, sauté the garlic & chilli in the oil until softened & add the passata. Drain the pasta & add to the pan & toss together with the chopped parsley.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý (If using bought in fresh pasta, add 4g of squid ink at this stage).

9.ÌýÌýÌý At the same time that the pasta is cooking, colour the baby squid in a very hot pan with olive oil, until a golden colour on all sides.

10. Take the pan off the heat & transfer to a preheated 180C oven. Roast for 1minute.

11. Remove the toothpicks & cut the squid in half, across the middle.

12. Add the cooked baby squid to the pan with the pasta & toss together. Serve into plates with a drizzle of good quality extra virgin olive oil & the fennel cress.
