Spaghettoni with black garlic from Voghiera, cuttlefish and crusco pepper

Recipe by Virginia @spaghettificio, our spaghetti expert!

The 'peperone crusco' is a typical dish of Lucanian and Calabrian cuisine, although in recent years it has come to dominate the national gastronomy thanks to its unique taste that has literally conquered the palate of many. The origins of the 'peperone crusco' date back to around the 16th century thanks to the Aragonese who imported it from the Spanish colonies in the Antilles to Italy. It was carefully and skilfully cultivated by farmers who soon enhanced its value, leading it to obtain the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) certification.

Ingredients for 2 persons:
  • 200 g spaghettoni
  • 2 teaspoons of creamed black garlic from Voghiera
  • 1 large or 2 small cuttlefish
  • 5 peppers cruschi
  • 1 fresh chilli pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Salt to taste
We start by putting the spaghetti to cook in a pot with boiling water and salt. In a frying pan we put oil, chopped chilli pepper and chopped cuttlefish and cook for a few minutes so that they remain soft. We remove the cuttlefish from the pan and set aside. In the same frying pan we add a few ladlefuls of the spaghetti cooking water and two teaspoons of Voghiera black garlic cream, stir with a wooden spoon to mix the black garlic cream with the cooking water. A few minutes before the spaghettoni are cooked, we move them to the frying pan. When the cooking is finished, we add the previously cooked pieces of cuttlefish and toss everything. At this point we can serve the spaghettoni on a plate, and as a final touch we brown some pieces of cuttlefish with a torch and sprinkle some cruschi peppers on top. Enjoy!
