Shells with squid is a refined dish of Italian cuisine that harmoniously combines the tenderness of seafood and the rich aromas of vegetables. The recipe originates from coastal regions of Italy, where fresh squid is an integral part of local gastronomy. The combination of pasta and squid creates an incredible texture: pasta soaked in aromatic tomato sauce complements soft pieces of seafood. The dish has a rich, slightly sweet flavor thanks to tomatoes and bell peppers, while garlic and parsley add a piquant freshness. Shells with squid can be served as a main course for dinner or a light festive lunch, surprising guests with exquisite Mediterranean taste.
