Ingredients

• ✓ calamari
• tomato
• red pepper flakes
• water
• sea bass fillet
• shrimp
• mussel
• clam
• butter
• olive oil
• fennel
• garlic
• salt
• white wine
• parsley

Instructions

1. 1 Combine tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and water in a measuring cup or bowl. Puree using an immersion blender until smooth.
2. 2 Cut sea bass into roughly 1 1/2-inch chunks to match the other seafood in size. Place sea bass, shrimp, calamari, mussels, and clams in individual dishes so they're ready to use.
3. 3 Melt butter and olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced fennel, garlic, and salt; cook and stir until garlic takes on color, about 1 minute. Stir in white wine. Let simmer until reduced by about half, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomato broth base; bring to a boil and cook until fennel is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
4. 4 Stir in parsley, sea bass, shrimp, and calamari. Add clams and mussels. Cover, increase heat to high, and cook until clam and mussel shells open and sea bass, shrimp, and calamari are opaque, about 5 minutes.
5. 5 Transfer to warm serving bowls. Garnish with reserved fennel fronds and serve.

Ingredients

• ✓ calamari
• tomato sauce
• chianti wine
• lemon juice
• olive oil
• garlic
• black pepper
• cayenne pepper
• basil
• romano cheese

Instructions

1. 1 Separate the tentacles from the long body of the calamari, if not done already. Slice the body, or calamari tubes into rings about 1/2 to 2/3 inch thick, set aside.
2. 2 In a saucepan, combine tomato sauce, red wine, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, basil, and cheese. Simmer on medium low for about 30 minutes to give the alcohol in the wine time to evaporate, and all the flavors time to blend.
3. 3 Add the calamari to the sauce. Continue to slowly simmer for about another 20 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Calamari is done when it is plump and more opaque. Do not cook on higher heat or for a longer period, as calamari is famous for becoming rubbery.
