Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1 lb fresh peas shelled
(to yield 3/4 cup shelled)
8 lrg whole calamari - (abt 1/2 lb)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 x garlic cloves thinly sliced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes soaked 1/2 hour in
warm water
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
Salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup finely-chopped Italian parsley
1/2 cup dry white wine
Instructions:
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Set up an ice bath nearby. Add the peas and blanch them for 30 seconds, then drain and immediately plunge into the ice bath. Once cooled, drain and set aside.

Clean the calamari. Remove the tentacles, finely chop them, and set aside. Remove insides, being careful not to cut the stomach.

In a 12- to 14-inch saute pan, heat the oil until smoking. Add the calamari tentacle pieces and cook until opaque. Add the peas, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes and stir through, about 1 minute. Add bread crumbs and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper and add parsley. Allow mixture to cool.

Stuff bread mixture into each calamari until full and place in a 12- by 8-inch earthenware dish (just large enough to hold calamari and sauce). Add wine and Basic Tomato Sauce and stir to settle. Bake for 35 minutes, then remove, and serve.
