Fresh squid tentacles, flour, egg, olive oil and lemon are the only ingredients you need for this Bowtie Pasta seafood boil with grilled Rabas Tappas appetizer on top. Bowtie pasta has nooks and crannies that absorb more squid flavors than pasta noodles. Rabas Tappas grilled this way stay so fresh, you can almost taste the Baha California seawater the tentacles came from.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
