INGREDIENTS

10 oz Calamari rings and tentacles

1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves Garlic

0.5 cup Marinara sauce

1 tbsp Fresh parsley

0.5 tsp Dried oregano

0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.5 whole Lemon

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the calamari rings and tentacles thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure they sear properly rather than steam.

• 2

  Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until it reaches a gentle simmer, then keep warm.

• 3

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.

• 4

  Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

• 5

  Add the calamari to the pan in a single layer and season with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

• 6

  Sauté the calamari for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing frequently with tongs, until the flesh is opaque and just tender.

• 7

  Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to avoid overcooking and stir in the fresh parsley and a squeeze of juice from the lemon.

• 8

  Spread the warm marinara sauce onto the base of a plate and top with the garlic-herb calamari before serving.
