  1. Absolutely delicious! This recipe is so good and really showcased the squid. I wasn't sure what passata was but lo and behold, it was on the grocery store shelf with the pasta sauces! I used the whole bottle of passata (660ml) so I would have enough sauce for our pasta. I cooked the squid for 5 minutes and it was done to perfection! I highly recommend having this on pasta because it really soaked up all the goodness. Made for PRMR. Thanks Sara 76!

I'm married, I have 2 kids (both boys), and I live in Australia. I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember, and have become completely addicted to browsing through Zaar looking for new recipes! I have a small animal shelter for rabbits and guinea pigs, and spend most of my time looking after kids or critters!. My favourite cookbooks are The Essential Pasta Cookbook, The Central Cookery Book, Flo Bjielkie-Peterson's Country Cookbook, and Greek Cooking (I bought that one in Greece, and it's FANTASTIC). At the minute, we are getting ready to move, which is forcing me to sort through my recipe cabinet. I have been trying out all those recipes that are scribbled on pieces of paper, or torn from magazines, so I can decide ifthey are keepers or not. So far I've found a lot of keepers, and will work at posting them on here. I'm passionate about a lot of things, mainly my kids, animals, and cooking. I won't even start on my peeves, we'll be here all night! lol
