Step 1: Clean the cuttlefish and cherry tomatoes
First take care of cleaning the cuttlefish: wash them quickly under running water, then cut them into thin strips and with the help of a sheet of absorbent paper, dry them well. Finally, wash the cherry tomatoes, remove the peel and cut them into cubes.
Step 2: Make the squid ink dressing
Inside a large non-stick pan, add plenty of extra virgin olive oil, a clove of garlic and fry everything for about a minute, then incorporate the chopped tomatoes over low heat, covered with a lid, cook for another 2 minutes.
After the necessary time, add the cuttlefish and cook again for another 5 minutes. When the cuttlefish are almost cooked, season with salt and blend with white wine. Once the alcohol in the wine has evaporated, add the cuttlefish ink, stir for a few seconds and turn off the heat. The seasoning is ready!
Step 3: Cook the tagliolini and serve at the table!
In salted water, cook the egg tagliolini for the time indicated on the package. Once cooked, add the pasta to the cuttlefish sauce just created, mix everything and if necessary incorporate a few tablespoons of cooking water so that the tagliolini does not dry out too much. Complete the dish with a generous sprinkling of chopped parsley.
