HOW TO MAKE TROFIE PASTA WITH CUTTLEFISH AND CARAMELISED ONIONS
  1. Making caramelised onions

    Sauté the onions, season with salt and vinegar and finally add the sugar. Cook over a gentle heat for 20 minutes, taking care that they do not dry out too much, adding a little water if necessary. Season to taste with sage.

  2. Cook the cuttlefish

    When the onions are ready, remove them from the pan and use the juices to cook the cleaned and cut cuttlefish in it. Cook for 5 minutes without the lid and finish cooking another 5 minutes with the lid on. If it gets too dry, add a little water.

  3. Sauté the pasta

    Sauté the trofie pasta, which you have cooked in plenty of salted water, in the pan together with the cuttlefish. Turn off the heat and add the onions and parsley.
