SIDE DISH: BASIL PASTA
This pasta is simple but great and takes only
minutes to prepare. This side dish with a bite
combines perfectly with your Calamari a la
plancha.
Ingredients:
• 2 chopped garlic cloves
• 1 freshly chopped chili
• fresh basil leaves
• 500 grams of fresh spaghetti or tagliatella
• extra virgin olive oil
• diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
• 200 grams of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper
Cook the fresh spaghetti or tagliatella “al dente”
in abundant water.
In the meantime, heat up a small frying pan with
some olive oil. Add the garlic and chilli and let
simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the
diced tomatoes and the fresh basil leaves, but
save a few for the garnish. Turn up the heat and
stir-fry for about a minute. Season with salt and
pepper to your taste.
Drain the pasta and combine it with the basil-
chili sauce. Add the remaining basil leaves and
freshly grated Parmesan and garnish with your
Calamari a la plancha.
