    Directions

    For the Calamari Stew: Warm the olive oil over medium heat in a medium pot. Add the garlic and let cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove the garlic. Add the tomato sauce, white wine, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the calamari and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the mixture comes back up to a simmer, about 2 more minutes. Serve immediately with the Garlic Toasts.

    For the Garlic Toast: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

    Meanwhile, drizzle the bread slices with olive oil. Toast until the bread is crisp and turning golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and rub the top of the toasts with whole garlic cloves. Serve immediately with the Calamari Stew.

      I love most of giada's recipes but I have to say that this one is wayyyyy off on the heat factor. It's sooooo darn hot ... And I like heat/spicy ... That I had to eat just the squid and any thing large and not the broth. Way too hot.

      Cut the teaspoon of red pepper flakes down to 1/4 tsp and I think this recipe will give you sooo much better punch!!!!
