Halloween Pasta Recipe: SQUID INK LINGUINE with Jack O’ Lantern Carrots
Ingredients
Scale
- 400g fresh squid ink pasta
- 1 small can of anchovy fillets in olive oil
- ½ cup olive oil
- 6 large cloves garlic, chopped finely
- 1 small carrot
- grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions. The fresh ones I got from the deli, says I had to boil it for 3 minutes.
- Slice your carrots thinly into coins. Using a small knife, carve a stem, eyes and a smiling mouth to resemble a jack o-lantern pumpkin. You can sauté this in butter or just blanch in the water where you boiled your pasta.
- In a non-stick pan, sauté anchovy fillets in ¼ cup olive oil + the oil in came in in the can. Let oil be infused with the flavor of anchovies.
- Transfer this in a bowl and wash the pan.
- Sauté chopped garlic in the remaining ¼ cup olive oil until it gets infused with the flavor of garlic.
- Add cooked pasta to this pan and mix well until each pasta is coated with oil.
- Pour in anchovy-infused olive oil and mix well.
- To serve, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and top with two or three pieces of buttered jack o- lantern carrots.
