Yet another one to freak out the girlies. 
It might not look scary in the photo but it was probably quite disconcerting to walk into the kitchen and find me cutting off heads and seperating tentacles. There was a definite look of disgust on one young lady’s face.
Well, it’s their loss, because this turned out to be very tasty. The squid hoods are stuffed with a mixture of olives, herbs and garlic. I griddled them for a short time and then served them on linguine in a tomato, chilli and basil sauce, tossed with lots of parmesan. I threw the squid tentacles into the pasta too.
I bought some chilli infused oil to throw over the pasta. It’s not something I’ve used before but I’m rather glad I discovered it. Am I the only person who thought chilli oil was hot? It’s not at all! It has a really good chilli flavour without the heat. A combination of that and a little chilli powder was perfect for the pasta.
The meal was really, really filling. I ate about half the amount in the photo and the rest is sitting in my fridge. Maybe I should offer it around the flat later. 
This is how you make it- I have halved quantities accordingly.
