CALAMARI AND TOMATO PASTA
Calamari has a delicate flavour and tender texture when it's cooked quickly; overcook it and it becomes rubbery very easily. So the secret of keeping calamari rings (sliced squid tubes) soft is: cook them for a very short time. In this recipe where they'll be plunged into a hot tomato salsa at boiling point it's 4 minutes at the most. Other seafood casseroles and sauces rely on the infusing flavour of the main ingredients. Not calamari however, so introduce awesome and versatile Thai fish sauce, but just a splash is enough. This wholesome creamy flavourful Mediterranean-style tomato-based sauce, with hints of the East, is best served with a pasta like taglierini or linguini - flat enough to grab the sauce and narrow enough not to compete with the shape of the calamari. Dinner party food.

Steps:
- Cut squid bodies in half lengthwise and then cut in half widthwise. If the tentacles are large, cut them in half lengthwise. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large saute pan. Add garlic and shallot and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, 1/4 cup water and white wine. Cook sauce over high heat for 5 minutes, until it reduces and thickens. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add all but 1 tablespoon of the parsley to the tomato sauce, lower heat, and simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add linguini or spaghetti and cook until tender (time will vary according to freshness of pasta, but it should take at least 7 minutes). Drain well, shaking colander gently to remove excess moisture.
- Add calamari to tomato sauce, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until just cooked through. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt and pepper, if desired. Add the drained pasta and toss well. To serve, garnish with remaining parsley.
SPICY SAUTEED CALAMARI OVER PASTA
I found this recipe on eastvillagekitchen.com 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).
