Parmesan cheese for topping
# Instructions:
01 -
Place the squid in a pan with a splash of water. Cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until the squid is just done. Drain any excess water, then add the lemon juice and olive oil to the pan.
02 -
Stir in the tomato paste, adding a couple tablespoons of water if the mixture seems too thick. Press or finely mince the garlic and add it to the pan along with the dried basil and crushed red pepper flakes.
03 -
Mix everything together well, then turn off the heat. Immediately stir in the fresh arugula and olives, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the greens.
04 -
Transfer to a serving plate and top generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve while hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Be careful not to overcook the squid as it can become tough and rubbery.
02 -
You can substitute calamari rings if whole squid is unavailable.

This dish is perfect on its own for a light meal or can be served over cauliflower rice for a more substantial dinner.
