Calamari Macaronatha

Calamari Macaronatha
  • 2 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 1 pound squid, cleaned
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Mizithra cheese


  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  2. In a small sauce pan, boil the squid in 3 cups of water mixed with the red wine vinegar for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, cut into bite-sized rings/pieces, and set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet. Saute the onion and garlic until onion is tender, but not brown. Stir in the squid, and saute for 2 minutes. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, white wine and lemon juice. Season with cinnamon stick, bay leaves, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes partially covered, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat, and mix in cooked pasta. Serve topped with grated cheese.
