• Pasta with Squid in Red Wine
• Add 2 cups chopped tomato (canned are fine), with their juice, to the sauce along with the wine. Cook as directed, reducing the sauce over high heat at the last moment if it is too watery and adding a teaspoon of minced garlic during the last 5 minutes of cooking. This will sauce about a pound of pasta.

• Add fennel seeds or crushed red chiles to alter the flavor entirely, or try one of these additions:
• Squid in Red Wine Sauce with Potatoes: Add some crisp-sautéed potatoes or croutons of bread to the finished dish for a contrasting texture.
• Squid in Red Wine Sauce with Tomatoes: Add a few chopped tomatoes (canned are fine) to make the sauce a bit thicker and more plentiful. In this case, you might as well serve the dish over pasta.
• Squid
• Almost all squid is sold so clean it just needs a quick rinse to be ready for cutting up and cooking; some of it is even sold cut into rings. To make it even more convenient, squid, like shrimp, is one of those rare seafoods whose quality barely suffers when frozen, so you can safely tuck a two-pound bag in the freezer and let it sit for a month or two, defrosting it the day you're ready to cook. (Like shrimp, it will defrost quickly and safely when covered with cold water.)

GRILLED SQUID WITH FRESH RED CHILE AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Dressing: Whisk together lemon juice and oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Squid: Clean squid by cutting body open to make a flat piece and scraping out guts. Keep tentacles in their bunches but remove eyes and mouth. Using a serrated knife, score inner side of flattened squid body with parallel lines 1/2 inch apart, and then lines equally apart the other way to make crosshatching.
• To make the sauce, put chiles in a bowl and cover with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat grill for direct heat (or a grill pan on high). Place squid (including tentacles), scored-side down, on grill, season with salt and pepper, and grill 1 to 2 minutes. Turn squid pieces over; they will immediately curl up, by which time they will be cooked.
• Toss arugula in dressing. Arrange two squid bodies with tentacles on each plate with some arugula. Put a little chile sauce on squid and serve, with lemon quarters.
