4 servings
40 minutes
Farfalle with squid in blue cheese sauce is a dish that embodies bold flavor choices of Italian cuisine. The combination of tender seafood and rich, spicy sauce based on Gorgonzola creates a rich flavor palette. Farfalle, due to their shape, hold the sauce well, making each bite delightfully rich. Lightly frying the squid reveals their tenderness, while baking in the oven gives the dish a harmonious texture. The exquisite final touch – grated Edam melting on top – adds a delicate creamy note. This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner accompanied by white semi-dry wine that will highlight its noble flavor accents.
