Squid in creamy sauce

Cookinero 29 Apr 2025

Squid in a creamy garlic sauce is not only a tasty but also a healthy dish, as the seafood contains a large amount of protein. Cooking this dish will not take much time. However, to make the dish tasty, special attention should be paid to the choice of squid. Be sure to pay attention to the color of the meat under the skin: it should be light cream color. To make the dish more filling, serve the squid with rice or fresh vegetables.

Add the cheese and garlic and mix well. Reduce the heat to low. Add the fried mushrooms, salt and spices to the sauce. Stir, cover and simmer for 2 minutes.
