Squid Ink Linguine with Garlic Seafood

  • 400g prepped and cleaned small squid
  • 300g squid ink linguine
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 300g large peeled prawns
  • 4 chopped garlic cloves
  • Bunch of sliced spring onions
  • 300g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 50g wild rocket
  • 1 lemon, juice only
  • Open and score the squid pouches in a diamond pattern, then cut the remaining flesh into 5cm pieces. Set aside with the tentacles. Cook the linguine until al dente in salted water, then drain and reserve a little cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, fry the squid for 2 mins in the oil, then remove from the pan and set aside. Add the garlic, prawns and onions and cook for 2 mins, then add the tomatoes and cook for 2 mins more. Return the squid to the pan and toss lightly.
  • Stir the rocket leaves into the linguine and add a splash of cooking water, then tip the whole lot into the pan with the seafood and tomatoes. Season well, add a squeeze of lemon, and serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
