This Creamy Calamari Fettuccine is my favorite seafood dish. The calamari are just so tender and tasty, it's hard to stop eating.

    CALAMARI

    You may use fresh or frozen calamari in this recipe. If you bought fresh squid and don't know how to clean and cut it properly, check out this article from WikiHow: How to Clean and Prepare a Squid to Make Calamari

    I usually use cleaned and cut calamari bought from WalMart's frozen seafood section.

    ROASTED PEPPERS

    You'll need a 6.5 oz jar of roasted peppers. Again, these are sold in most large supermarkets. I buy Goya brand from Walmart. You may also buy roasted peppers on Amazon.

    2. In a large skillet, saute the onion in olive oil over medium heat, until soft (about 7-10 minutes).

      Instructions and recipe were clear and the result was good. I used fresh squid that was a more tender style- the japanese refers to as shiro-ika (transparent white delicate squid). It came out really well
