How to cook deliciously - Calamari Marinara

1 . Stage

Drizzle olive oil into a saucepan. Add onions, chile pepper, garlic, anchovy filet, red pepper flakes, and salt; place over medium-high heat. Stir and cook until onions and garlic just start to turn golden, 3 or 4 minutes.

2 . Stage

Stir in wine and simmer until wine is reduced by about half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add clam juice, tomatoes, and oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for about 15 minutes.

3 . Stage

Gently stir in calamari and simmer until tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley.

4 . Stage

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

5 . Stage

Stir some sauce into the hot, drained pasta. Serve in warm bowls topped with more marinara sauce and grated cheese. Chef John
