    I present to you a delicious fish first course.

    Ingredients for 4 people
    • 400 g of Armando spaghetti
    • 800 g of fresh squid already cleaned
    • 8 cloves of garlic
    • Half a bunch of fennel
    • Chili pepper to taste
    • Extra virgin olive oil to taste
    • 10 tablespoons of coarse breadcrumbs
    • 4 anchovies in oil
    • 4 sachets of saffron
    Preparation

    To start, fry the calamari in a pan with two cloves of garlic, the anchovies, and some chili pepper for a maximum of three minutes.

    Add the saffron previously diluted with a little hot water.

    At this point, wash the fennel and chop it roughly, then add it to the pan with the other ingredients.

    For the so-called “muddica atturrata“, fry the remaining garlic cloves with the breadcrumbs and oil: as soon as it has browned, it will be ready.

    Cook the pasta and drain it al dente to mix it with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil off the heat.

    Finally, serve with a sprinkling of breadcrumbs and... Enjoy your meal!
