Preparation

Step

For the Pasta

Pour the flour out onto a flat surface or into a bowl.  Make a hole in the center of the mound, and break an egg into the center.  Add pinch of salt. 

Beat the egg, and using a fork, slowly draw flour into the center of the mound, where the beaten egg is.  Keep adding flour to the egg until possible, then knead with hands for about 10 minutes.  If dough is too soft or sticky, add more flour.  Alternatively, if the dough is too stiff, add a bit of warm water.   

Form into a ball and sprinkle with flour or semolina (if handy).  Cover with a cloth and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes. 

Spread the dough out onto your surface, which should be lightly floured (with regular flour or semolina if handy). 

Using a rolling pin, begin rolling pasta out from the center, until you reach the ideal thickness (the thinner the better!).  Or pass through the pasta machine.

Fold each sheet several times over itself (dusting each fold with flour or semolina so it doesn't stick together) and cut it with a sharp knife into strips about .5cm wide. 

Unroll each strip into taglierini.  Layer them on a tray sprinkled with more semolina or flour to avoid sticking.  You can also create the taglierini using a pasta machine, if available.

For the Dressing

Wash and thoroughly clean the squid.  Boil small sauce pot of water, add two tomatoes in order to flash cook and remove the skin. 

When cool enough to handle, peel, and halve and remove inner seeds.  Dice tomatoes finely.  Slice into 1/2" thick slices. 

Heat olive oil in medium sauté pan, add squid.  Add several splashes of white wine, allow to evaporate, and once the liquid has almost evaporated completely, add the tomato puree' and fresh tomatoes. 

Adjust for salt.

Complete the Dish

Boil a large pot of salted water, cook the taglierini for approximately 5 minutes. 

Taste a noodle for desired consistency, and either drain immediately or allow to continue cooking until you reach the correct cooking stage.  

Drain, and place into the sauté pan with the squid sauce.  Toss well to combine the pasta and the sauce. 

Serve hot.
