Rhode Island Day Boat Calamari Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinara Sauce

   In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced fennel and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

2. 2

   Add the Tomatoes and Seasonings

   Add the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

3. 3

   Cook the Calamari

   In a separate pan, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the calamari and cook for 2-3 minutes until just opaque, being careful not to overcook.

4. 4

   Combine and Serve

   Once the calamari is cooked, stir it into the marinara sauce. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges on the side.
