GARLIC CALAMARI TAGLIERINI
I love light sauces over pasta and came up with this one with squid to go over taglierini. I usually have on hand either fish or clam base and would substitute a broth for water. This goes good with a loaf of Italian bread for dipping into the sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in celery, shallot, and garlic, and cook and stir until lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Blend in water, wine, lemon juice, sauce mix, and basil pesto. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
- Stir calamari, frozen peas, and capers into the sauce. Continue to simmer until squid is opaque, checking frequently to avoid overcooking, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook taglierini pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 6 to 9 minutes. Drain.
- Season calamari mixture with salt and pepper. Serve over cooked pasta.

Steps:
- Make dough:
- Pulse together all ingredients except additional flour in a food processor until mixture just begins to form a ball. Knead dough on a work surface, incorporating additional flour as necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Divide dough into 4 pieces and keep each wrapped in plastic wrap until ready to roll out.
- Roll out dough:
- Set smooth rollers of a pasta machine at widest setting. Flatten 1 piece of dough into a rectangle and feed through rollers. Fold in half and feed through rollers 8 or 9 more times to continue kneading, folding in half each time and dusting with flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
- Cut pasta:
- Turn dial to next narrower setting and feed dough through rollers without folding. Continue to feed dough through, without folding, making space between rollers narrower each time until narrowest setting is reached. Halve sheet crosswise and arrange on a dry kitchen towel, letting pasta hang over edge of work surface. Roll out remaining dough in same manner.
- Attach ribbon-pasta cutters to pasta machine and attach handle to 1/8-inch-wide cutter. Line a tray with a dry kitchen towel. Feed first rolled-out pasta sheet, which will have dried slightly but should still be flexible, through cutter and toss with some flour. Form pasta loosely into a nest and arrange on kitchen-towel-lined tray. Make more taglierini with remaining dough. Cover taglierini with plastic wrap until ready to use.
