Low Fat Calamari In Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Separate the tentacles from the long body of the calamari, if not done already. Slice the body, or calamari tubes into rings about 1/2 to 2/3 inch thick, set aside.
• In a saucepan, combine tomato sauce, red wine, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, basil, and cheese. Simmer on medium low for about 30 minutes to give the alcohol in the wine time to evaporate, and all the flavors time to blend.
• Add the calamari to the sauce. Continue to slowly simmer for about another 20 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Calamari is done when it is plump and more opaque. Do not cook on higher heat or for a longer period, as calamari is famous for becoming rubbery.

Steps:

• Cut calamari into small strips.
• Place in saucepan and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes (do not add water) Drain all but 1 cup of liquid.
• Add oil, garlic, chili pepper, sauce, parsley and salt.
• Cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
• Add wine and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Adjust seasonings to taste.
• Serve over cooked rice or noodles.

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
