    • 12 calamari tubes
    • 🧅 2 green onions, finely chopped
    • 🧄 8 cloves garlic, minced, divided
    • 🦐 ½ pound chopped cooked shrimp meat
    • 🦀 ½ pound cooked crabmeat, diced
    • 🍋 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • Sauce Ingredients

    • 🧈 ¾ cup butter
    • 12 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 🥛 3 cups milk
    • 🧀 10 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 pinch ground black pepper
    • 🧀 ¾ cup freshly grated Romano cheese

  • Pasta

    • 1 (8-ounce) package linguine pasta

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Rinse the calamari tubes and pat dry.

2

In a large bowl, stir together the green onions, 6 cloves of minced garlic, shrimp, crabmeat, and lemon juice. Stuff this mixture into each squid tube and seal the ends with toothpicks. Arrange them in a single layer in a baking dish.

3

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the cream cheese and 2 cloves of minced garlic until melted. Gradually whisk in the milk. Once heated through, remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Pour this sauce over the stuffed calamari in the baking dish. Sprinkle Romano cheese on top.

4

Bake the calamari uncovered in the oven for about 20 minutes until the cheese is browned and the sauce is bubbly.

5

While the calamari bakes, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine pasta until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

6

Serve the stuffed calamari and sauce over a bed of linguine.
