Method

  1. Clean the 'spillo' squid by removing eyes and internal quill, then rinse.
  2. Clean the clams by tapping each one; discard any that are full of sand.
  3. Rinse the clams under water.
  4. In a pan, heat olive oil and a clove of garlic. Add a little water, then add the clams. Cover and cook until they open. Remove opened clams and set aside. Strain the cooking liquid.
  5. In another pan, heat olive oil and grated garlic. Add chili pepper and cook gently.
  6. Add the cleaned squid and cook briefly.
  7. Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, reserving some pasta water.
  8. Add some of the strained clam liquid to the squid pan. Add the drained spaghetti and toss.
  9. Grate bottarga over the pasta and toss again. Add the reserved clams and mix.
  10. Serve with fresh parsley (optional) and an extra grating of bottarga.
