Best Calamari Marinara Recipes
CALAMARI MARINARA
Calamari has an unfair reputation for being tricky to work with and that it's rubbery when cooked. Here's the secret: cook it in 45 seconds or 45 minutes--very quickly or a long slow simmer. For this marinara dish, I use the long simmer method.

Steps:
- Drizzle olive oil into saucepan (not over heat). Add onions, Serrano pepper, garlic, anchovy filet, red pepper flakes, and salt. Place pot over medium-high heat. When onions start to sizzle after a minute or so, stir and cook until onions and garlic just start to turn golden, 3 or 4 minutes. Stir in wine.
- Cook until wine is reduced by about half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add clam juice, tomatoes, and oregano. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. When sauce begins to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently for about 15 minutes.
- Transfer calamari to sauce pot; stir gently. Simmer until calamari are tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
- Stir some sauce into the hot, drained pasta. Serve in warm bowls topped with more marinara sauce and grated cheese.

CALAMARI MARINARA
I adopted this recipe because of our children's affinity to seafood. When our oldest was little, he would call the tentacle part "legs". He would devour them when they were just lightly sautéed in butter. I know they will love this recipe as well!

Steps:
- 1)Sauté hot peppers (add more or less depending on the spice level you prefer), capers, black olives, in a bit of olive oil, with a bit of salt, pepper, and oregano. Medium heat, roughly 4 minutes. 2)Toast your bread crumbs in another pan with a little butter... simply toasted, not burnt. 3)Add your marinara sauce (can be home-made or not) in with the peppers, etc., until warm, then add your fresh calamari for roughly 2 minutes. Adirondack Bob says "You want them cooked, not rubberized." They cook quickly fresh, any longer and they will become rubbery. 4)De-seed your lemons wedges. 5)Pour your calamari dish into your serving dish, add your toasted bread crumbs on top. Add your lemon wedges. Enjoy!
