Instructions: To clean calamari:
Pull head out of body sac; most of the innards should follow. Remove cartilaginous "pen" also. Slice the tentacles off of the head just below the eyes; remove the beak if present. Clean out body sac under running water with your finger. Remove the purple skin (it comes off easily by rubbing). Slice the body into rings, and put them and the tentacles into a strainer and rinse them off. Easy!

Bring a small pot of water to boil. Boil calamari for 3-4 minutes, just until they turn opaque and the tentacles curl up. (Dont boil too long or they will become rubbery and tasteless.) Drain.

In a bowl, combine all ingredients (except pasta of course) and mix.

Boil your pasta and drain it, and mix with the other stuff. Serve with fresh grated Parmesan cheese and fresh Italian bread.
