linguine with cuttlefish ragu 

                    
  6      medium  cuttlefish — cleaned, whole
  100 grams  onion — sliced
          olive oil
          parsley — chopped
  1      kilogram  chopped tomato (fresh or tinned)
  600 grams  linguine
  100 grams  pecorino pugliese — grated

  • Fry the onions in plenty of olive oil for a few minutes. Add the cuttlefish and fry on all sides.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook over a low heat for around 3/4 hour.
  • When the cuttlefish are tender, remove from the sauce and keep warm.
  • Season the sauce with salt and pepper. It probably wont need much salt as the cuttlefish can be quite salty.
  • Dress the cooked pasta with the sauce. Serve sprinkled with the pecorino and parsley. Top each portion with one of the cuttlefish.
