Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Clean the squid from the membrane. Rinse and pat dry to remove excess moisture. Cut into rings. Set aside for a while.

Step 2

In a saucepan, melt the butter. Gradually add the sifted flour to the melted butter, stirring occasionally until a homogeneous mass forms.

Step 3

Pour the milk into the resulting mixture. Stir. Add the pre-broken Danish blue cheese into small cubes to the saucepan. Stir until a mixture with the consistency of thick yogurt is formed.

Step 4

Over medium heat, warm the spices in a pan, then pour in the teaspoon of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up. Add the cut squid rings. Fry until a light white color appears, approximately 1.5 - 2 minutes.

Step 5

In a baking dish, place the dry farfalle at the bottom.

Step 6

Layer the fried squid on top of the dry farfalle.

Step 7

Pour the resulting sauce over the squid and farfalle. Let it sit for 7-10 minutes. Place the dish in an oven preheated to 390°F. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Step 8

5 minutes before it’s done, sprinkle the dish with grated Edam cheese. Serve preferably with a white semi-dry wine.
