Method

Calamari Marinara Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti or linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes, and add the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Calamari

    Add the calamari rings to the sauce and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the calamari is cooked through and tender.

    Combine and Serve

    Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the marinara sauce and calamari, mixing well. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese.
