I found this recipe on and made it with my wife. It came out so good I had to add to my cookbook. If you like Fra Diavolo you'll love this! The version we just made was a little too spicy - I might try cutting down on the red pepper next time - but it was still really delicious. Great over pasta, or on its own as an appetizer (double the serving count for appetizer). Ingredients:
1 lb squid |
3 tablespoons red pepper flakes |
4 tablespoons tomato paste |
3 garlic cloves, chopped (or more to taste) |
1 bunch italian parsley |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Give the squid a good rinse after you cut them into 1/2 inch rings. Be sure to drain out the rinse water in a strainer.
2. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a wok or shallow saute pan.
3. Add chopped garlic to the oil and cook until the garlic begins to become translucent or browns up a little.
4. Add the calamari.
5. Add tomato paste, red pepper, salt, pepper,
6. Saute on medium heat for 8 minutes.
7. Add a handful of italian parsley.
8. Saute on medium heat for 2 more minutes.
9. Serve with some additional parsley over pasta.
