Garlic squid and prawns with black linguine

Method

1. Cut along 1 side of each squid pouch and open them out flat. Using a sharp knife, score the inner sides in a diamond pattern, then cut the flesh into 5cm pieces. Set aside the squid pieces with the tentacles.
2. Cook the linguine in lightly salted boiling water for about 8 minutes or until al dente. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking liquid.
3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the squid and cook for 2 minutes or until golden and lightly caramelised. Lift out and set aside. Add the prawns, garlic and spring onions and cook for 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until the prawns are cooked through. Add the squid and toss lightly.
