Author Notes
This tasty, healthy and easy dish is adapted from my favorite Italian cookbook (If anyone has connections to Gambero Rosso: La Cucina di Casa in English = $). I use the canned chickpeas as a short cut and chicken broth instead of water for a slightly deeper taste. But water will work too. It will taste better if you make the chickpeas yourself, but this aims at quick. - fisheri —fisheri
Test Kitchen Notes
Fisheri's pasta dish really lives up to its name; it is a perfect dish for a weeknight and feels pretty fancy, despite being so easy to make. Cooking the pasta in the sauce is a great idea, as it made the sauce a bit creamy and thick. The combination of squid, sage, and garlic makes for a delicious sauce -- I could eat just the sauce and be very happy. Next time I make this, I may try adding a bit of chorizo. This is a weeknight recipe that I'll definitely be making again. - VanessaS —VanessaS
