A side dish that goes great with either wine or rice.Dilute the tomato sauce with white wine if it tastes too strong. Recipe by chibirino

This is again one of my mother's recipes, which I learnt from her sometime ago.

This is a traditional Greek island recipe which I was taught by my mother.

Squid/ Calamari is one of my favorite things to eat. Only if it is cooked right. I used to buy squid for my pops a few times a year and he would make a delectable calamari in a tomato sauce. It was so tender and flavorful. Sadly, I never got him to write it down for me, but he did say just cook it a long time. What did that mean?I tried to make it myself a few times, since he passed. They all failed. Too tough. Too fishy. Etc, etc, etc. Finally, my wife suggested that we should just let it cook for a long time. Who am I to say no to my wife and dad?We did just that, with some carrots. Wow! Not what my dad made, but he would have loved it nevertheless.If you like it saucy, then one pound of squid is just find. But if like a touch of sauce, then use two pounds of squid. The carrots may seem to be an odd touch, but they add to the amazing flavor. Hopefully, you will enjoy this as much as we did.Enjoy!

This is a recipe I just thought up.In Step 1, We're not using the tentacles, so you can reserve them for something else. You could use them though, if you don't mind them.In Step 4, be careful not to overcook the squid or it will become tough.In Step 6, you can mix the sauce and pasta together in the pan if you want.

Wanted to try spaghetti squash and now I found a way to enjoy pasta without all the extra carbs

I asked my mother-in-law for her tomato sauce recipe only to find out that she doesn't really have one. I watched her make the sauce and saw that she doesn't use meauring cups or spoons. So I made notes as best I could, but it never tastes quite the same. My husband likes the sauce, so I guess it gets a pass! You can also make meat sauce by adding 0.5 kg cooked lean ground beef.
