PERFECT PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, and return to the pot. Toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
FIRST THINGS FIRST
Rinse the squid to get rid of the residue and pat dry with paper towel. Slice into 1cm pieces. Set aside.
CHAR IT, CHEF!
Place a deep pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the squid pieces until charred and cooked through, 1-2 minutes (shifting as they colour). Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel and set aside.
CREATE THE BASE
Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the Onion and the Carrot and fry until soft, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).
ENTER THE RAGU
When the Onion & Carrot are soft, add the tomato paste and the dried herb mix (to taste). Fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Add the wine and cook until almost all evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the tomato passata and 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of water and simmer until slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes (stirring occasionally).
BRING IT ALL TOGETHER
When the ragú is done, remove from the heat and add the cooked pasta, the crème fraîche, seasoning, and a sweetener (to taste). Loosen with the reserved pasta water if too thick.
ALL DONE!
Plate up the delicious ragú. Scatter over the squid and tuck in, Chef!
