Living the Life in Sicily - Cooking with Loredana - Black Squid Linguine, Snow & Fire - Episode 12

Living the Life in Sicily - Cooking with Loredana - Black Squid Ink Linguine with Snow & Fire - Mount Etna - Episode 12.
This Sicilian dish comes from a consequential event, and the many eruptions of Mount Etna. The last major eruption happened in 1669, the largest on record. This is a powerful dish, symbolizing the tremendous power of Mount Etna. In Italian, it is called, Linguine con Nero di Sepio:
1) The Linguine with squid and black ink symbolizes the black lava rock on Mount Etna
2) The salty white grated ricotta cheese symbolizes the white snow on the peak of Mount Etna
3) The tiny hot red pepper on top of each dish symbolizes the eruption (red fire) of Mount Etna
Every recipe starts with a visit to Rosario and the fish market in Riposto!
RECIPE (4-6 servings):
Ingredients:
Olive Oil
Pinch of Sea Salt
Red Pepper flakes
2 medium squid with 2 sacks of black squid ink
1 Chopped medium sized red/purple onion
1 small bundle of chopped fresh parsley
1 bottle organic100% sweet tomato sauce from Sicily
Grated salted ricotta cheese
Small hot red Peppers (one for each plate)
1 bag of Linguine
Method:
1) Wash the squid and cut into small pieces with a scissor. It's easier to eat in small bite size pieces
2) Pour a small amount of olive oil into a pan and heat slightly. Don't overheat.
3) Add chopped medium purple onion and chopped parsley. Saute for 5 minutes. Don't burn.
4) Add the squid pieces and saute for another 5 minutes.
5) Add the small bottle of sweet tomato sauce.
6) Add a pinch of salt and cover with the lid and saute 5 minutes.
7) Add the black ink (nero di sepio) and stir into the mixture.
7) In a separate large pot, boil water and add the bag of linguine and cook until al dente.
8) Once ready, add the linguine to the black ink squid mixture and stir until mixed. Never the reverse. Never add the sauce to the linguine.
9) Plate the linguine with sauce and top with grated salty ricotto, and a single whole hot red pepper, to look like the mountain with "snow and fire"!

I hope you are far enough from the fire spitting volcano. Beautiful place though. Cheers from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸

[@wineisalwaysgood]

Yes, we are far away from the volcano. There is never a problem with the day to day life here and the volcano is monitored on a constant basis by scientists. We are safe and are at least 12 KM as the crow flies away from the peak.
