How to cook

Prepare seafood

Slice the squid into rings.
Rinse the clams a few times under running water and soak in a bowl of water.
Put aside both ingredients until they are ready to cook.

Cook pasta

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add in a pinch of salt.
Cook the pasta in the boiling water for about 8-10 minutes until al dente or according to its packaging instructions. Al dente pasta is firm when held with tongs, but not stiff.
Drain the pasta in a colander and set it aside.

Start cooking

Saute the garlic in olive oil.
Add in the dried basil, paprika and salt and fry for about 10-15 minutes until the aroma of the spices is released.
Add in the squid and fry them until they turn fully opaque.
Pour in the cooking cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Throw in the broccoli florets and stir to coat them thoroughly with the sauce.
Add the clams into the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
Serve the pasta on plates, and top with the sauce. Serve warm, and enjoy!
