Looking for a garden fresh sauce for spaghetti squash dinner. Found this. Really tasty.

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 as basic and sublime as Italian cooking gets. My daughter requests this all the time. In the winter, she would ask for this and I would say, we need to wait for summer tomatoes. Yet, I have made it with store fresh roma tomatoes in winter and it is a nice reminder of summer.

King oyster mushrooms in tomato sauce is a delicious and unique dish that pairs well with rice, offering a change of pace for family meals. I cook it savory, but if you're vegetarian, you can substitute with vegetarian seasoning, soy sauce, or vegetarian fish sauce.
