Spectacular! And I didn't have the parsely, ancho chili or white wine! Used a couple tablespoons of white wine vinegar instead. Used about half the pepper flakes and 2/3 of the cumin. <br/><br/>I didn't squeeze the raw calamari completely dry and think that made for an even more flavorful sauce. Wonderful to sop with the baguette!

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. <br/><br/>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.
