Calamari is delicious. 'Nuff said, now onto the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 cans whole tomatoes
- Garlic
- Onion
- Red pepper flakes
- Italian seasoning
- Pack of CLEAN frozen squid, whole and thawed
- Pasta
In a medium pot, place a light layer of olive oil. Chop approximately 4 cloves of garlic and one small onion and saute until translucent.Take thawed squid and chop into 'rings', I use the legs as well - freaks some people out. (NOTE: you can use fresh squid from the grocer, however, make sure it is cleaned. Cleaning squid that has not been de-inked is nasty and it takes a lot of time. To avoid this mess. . . just don't go there). Add squid to pot and stir gently until it starts to 'curl' on the ends.
Puree tomatoes in the blender and add. Season with a pinch of red pepper flakes and Italian Seasoning, salt, pepper to taste. I like my sauce a little spicy so I tend to throw in a bit more of the red pepper flakes - your call! Bring to a simmer and let cook for at least 25 minutes.
Cook pasta according to box and top with the sauce - add grated cheese and enjoy!!!!
Nothing says loving . . . like squid on the table . . .
