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:
- 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.
