Calamarata (Pasta with Calamari and Tomato Sauce) Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of Calamari, cleaned and cut into rings
• 1 lb of Calamarata Pasta
• 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 can (28 oz) of Crushed Tomatoes
• 1/2 cup of White Wine
• 1/4 cup of Fresh Parsley, chopped
• Salt and Red Pepper flakes, to taste

Instructions:

1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes or until they become translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown as it can become bitter.
3. Add the calamari rings to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Make sure not to overcook the calamari as it can become rubbery.
4. Pour in the white wine and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes or until the liquid has reduced by half.
5. Add the can of crushed tomatoes to the pan, along with salt and red pepper flakes, to taste. Heat over medium heat and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes until it thickens.
6. Cook the Calamarata pasta according to the instructions on the package. Make sure to cook it al dente, so it is still slightly firm to the bite.
7. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the calamari tomato sauce. Toss the pasta with the sauce until it is well coated.
8. Garnish the pasta with fresh parsley and serve hot.
