diced.
Heat a little oil in a pan and brown the diced potatoes with
a pinch of salt and pepper. After 2 minutes add the tomatoes and sauté everything for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle with a few chopped basil leaves and turn off. Toast the pine nuts in a pan for 2-3 minutes and add them to potatoes and tomatoes, obtaining the filling.
For the sauce: Cut the cherry tomatoes in quarters; heat a drizzle of oil with a sprig of basil in a pan. Sauté the cherry tomatoes for 3 minutes,
with a pinch of salt, over high heat. Turn off and remove the basil. Blend them with the hand blender.
For the squid: clean the squid, separating the tufts from the bodies and removing the internal pen. Peel and wash them. Fill them with the filling; reposition the tufts at the ends of the bodies, fixing them with a toothpick and closing the mouth at the same time, so that the filling does not come out. Cook the stuffed squid in a hot pan with a drizzle of oil for 3 minutes over high heat. Serve them cut in half, over the cherry tomato sauce. Complete with a drizzle of oil and ground pepper.
