Day 41 ... Pasta with Squid in Olive Oil

PASTA WITH SQUID IN OLIVE OIL

Fetched Bryan from the coach station at 8:30pm. Reached home in 15 minutes. Went straight to the kitchen to whip up a quick dinner. Had taken down some squid to thaw this evening. So decided to prepare pasta noodles with squid, and some vegetables from the fridge. Found a tupperware of shitake stems that I had saved and thought would add that too.

Dinner was ready by 9:15pm. Simple and no fuss. The pasta would have tasted better had I added more water. Or olive oil. Was not moist enough although the noodles were soaked with flavour. Perhaps should call the dish, Pasta Drought with Squid, instead. :D

i. Boil spaghetti noddles till HALF-cooked. 
Add seasalt. Drain and leave aside.
