How to Make Voodoo Calamari Ink Pasta

1. Prepare the sauce: In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add 1/2 cup of dry white wine and 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the sauce to thicken slightly.
3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
5. Add 1/4 cup of squid ink to the sauce and stir well to combine. The sauce will turn a deep, vibrant black.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, along with 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.
7. Add 1 pound of cleaned calamari rings to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the calamari is tender but still slightly firm.
8. Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.
9. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and Parmesan cheese, if desired.
