½ pound linguine pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, crushed

8 ounces squid, cleaned and cut into rings and tentacles

¾ cup white wine

3 cherry peppers, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup cream

crushed red pepper flakes to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add crushed garlic, and cook for a few seconds until it turns golden brown. Stir in the squid, and cook until it turns white. Pour in white wine and cherry pepper slices; bring to a simmer, and cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
