Calamari alla Marinara

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. To prepare the calamari alla marinara, begin by gutting and cleaning the squid; rinse thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry.
  2. Heat 5 to 6 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and sauté the finely chopped onion and the garlic cloves. Once the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is lightly golden, add the anchovies.
  3. When the anchovy fillets are almost completely dissolved, add the cherry tomatoes, cut in half, and let cook for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Then add the squid.
  4. Sauté briefly, pour in the white wine, and allow the alcohol to evaporate over brisk heat. Lower the heat and simmer gently for about 20 minutes.
  5. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley, and serve the calamari alla marinara immediately.
