Baked Squid with Garlic-Anchovy Pasta

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450F.

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil.

In a large bowl, toss the squid with the breadcrumbs, oregano, pepper, and one teaspoon salt.

Spread the squid in a large baking dish in a single layer and sprinkle with any leftover crumbs.

Drizzle ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on top.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until the squid is golden brown and crunchy.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk the garlic and the anchovy paste into the remaining ¼ cup oil and bring to a simmer over low heat.

Cook, whisking, until fragrant but not browned, about 3 minutes.

Add salt to the boiling water.

Add the capellini and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 3 minutes.

Drain the pasta and return it to the saucepan.

Add the anchovy sauce and the butter and toss to coat.

Make a bed of capellini on a platter or plates.

Mound the baked squid on the pasta and serve with lemon wedges.
