Today I leave a first quick and delicious dish, with an unusual combination: the pasta with artichokes, calamari and lemon. As he spends time, I appreciate more and more the combination of fish and vegetables and I find that the marriage between the artichoke and the squid is perfect, for the common trend sweetish. I also believe that the lemon zest to the dish that knows how to give fresh note, that makes everything tastier.
The recipe is easy, indeed easy, and I think it can also be a good solution for holiday menu. Maybe choosing a long egg pasta such as noodles or fettuccine or a short format and a bit’ particularly as garganelli (I do not know why, but the pasta for me is now party). As always, instead of squid you can also use the squid, which they are delicious and tasty, but need more attention during cooking, because they must be blanched or just, or cooked for a long time, otherwise they remain a little’ tough. I recommend that you do not skimp on the lemon zest and black pepper, because they confer character to the plate.
If you're planning a seafood menu for the holidays, the pasta with artichokes, squid and lemon could be a good choice. On my YouTube Channel also find the VIDEO TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CLEAN ARTICHOKES perfectly. Save the recipe and do not forget to have a look at all my RECIPES WITH ARTICHOKES Since we are in season!
