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.

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.

A great Italian seafood dish that is quick enough for a week night meal.

Probably found online but reduced to our size 2 servings and amount of ingredients and method, so it's my recipe.

I thought of a simple tomato sauce that would work well with all kinds of cooking.*If you don't have a blender, you can use canned chopped tomatoes. *If you're using fresh tomatoes, chop them up and then heat them in the microwave (I cooked 3 tomatoes for 5 minutes).Please simmer them after blending. If you want to preserve the fresh taste of the tomatoes, then you don't have to add them to the blender. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

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.

Turned out very good for my first attempt. Its similar to a dish my mother makes.

Roasted cauliflower in a rich tomato sauce. You'll enjoy this dish even if you aren't a fan of cauliflower!I rose the temperature to 220°C for the 5 last minutes of baking so the cauliflower would get crispy

I was inspired by a chicken dish that I ate at an Italian restaurant to make this recipe.Simmer longer to make the chicken softer and the onions creamier. Please shorten the simmering time if you prefer your onions to retain their shape.Add more sugar and ketchup into the sauce if you like it sweeter.I usually leave some sauce for the following day to enjoy some pasta for lunch.
