Linguine con Rapini, Calamari, e Peperoncino
Serves 4 to 6
Aglio e olio, that great classic southern Italian invention, is the foundation of many other pasta dishes and lends itself to innumerable variations. This dish begins with oil, garlic, and chili pepper, to which are added calamari, bread crumbs, and broccoli rabe.
Broccoli rabe, a delicious green leafy vegetable with a slightly bitter nutty taste, is available year-round, with its peak season from late fall to early spring.
Trim and discard any large woody stalks and wilted leaves from the broccoli rabe. Wash the rabe well under cold running water and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, chili pepper, and squid, and cook, stirring, only until the squid becomes chalky white, 1 to 2 minutes. Raise the heat to high and add the bread crumbs. Stir quickly until bread crumbs turn lightly golden, 10 to 15 seconds. Season with salt and turn the heat off under the skillet.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt, the broccoli rabe, and the pasta. Cook, uncovered, over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender but still a bit firm to the bite. Scoop up and reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
