This was pretty good. I noticed a taste from the canned diced tomatos... Next time I'll use fresh and I'm sure it will be better. But after eating the leftovers the next day, the canned taste wasn't there any more!! I didn't have capers or the one pepper. I only gave it 4 stars because I still felt it was missing something. I would have like a veggie or two more in it. But still a great base recipe to get creative with and make your own! Also, go with your gut with how long to cook at the end. There were plenty of juices so I just let it boil until the calarami tasted done. Still plenty of sauce left for my bread.
BTW, I've never used wine to cook so I had to do research. I ended up getting Sutter Home Pinot Grigio from the little 4 pack bottles. One mini bottle is just more than what the recipe calls for so it's a great way avoid wasting a large bottle.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I followed it as written, and it was easy to prepare and did not get overcooked or chewy. It is a spicy, flavorful, and lighter alternative to fried calamari. I served it with garlic toasts and a simple mixed greens salad. Thanks for sharing this one!

Delicious! I can't get ancho chillis here but used plain green chilli instead. I will definitely make this again!

I love calamari but not deep fried. This was perfect. I had a bag of frozen calamari rings (made for deep frying!!) and applied this recipe and it was terrific. I used a lot of garlic but did not roast it. Didn't have capers so left them out and used a drained can of diced tomatoes. It was still kind of like a soup so I served it in a soup bowl and loved soaking up the juices. Sure glad I found this one. Thanks ChefDebs

Made this last night. It was so good. I felt like I was eating something from a fancy restaurant. We had it with crusty french bread and sprinkled some parm on it. So Yummy!

Wow! This recipe was simple but really great! Instead of Ancho Chilis I used chili paste and omitted the capers.
This was fast and delicious! I poured this over pasta and it was amazing!

Yeah, it worked out really well. Super easy too once you get the calimari cleaned.
