Pasta with squid in creamy sauce
Description
When it comes to the type of cheese for this dish, Parmesan is the ideal choice. In addition, cheddar would also work well here. However, in general, you can use any hard cheese grated over the pasta. Optionally, you can add a bit of sweet paprika to the sauce. This will give the dish a delicate pinkish hue and a slight extra kick of flavor.
