Calamari can be cooked one of two ways: For the blink of an eye, or for a long, long time. Anything in between and it is rubbery. I found mine at Kowalski's Grocery Store for only $4 for 8 large bodies.
8 large squid
1 pound Ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 TBS chopped parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 toothpicks
1 jar no sugar added marinara sauce
Pinch oregano
Clean calamari body. Remove tentacles and fins (if needed, I purchased mine with just the body shell). In mixing bowl, combine ricotta, egg, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Stuff calamari with cheese mixture. Close each end with a toothpick. In roasting pan, place squid and pour over marinara sauce. Cover pan with foil, bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
