Spaghetti with Calamari

Number of Servings: 
4
Ingredients: 
2 teaspoons bottled crushed garlic, or 2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
16 ounces fresh or frozen calamari rings, thawed
One 14 ½-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil, packed
2 tablespoons Marsala wine
1/4 cup milk (any kind is fine)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
Instructions: 

Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the calamari and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes (with the juices), basil, and wine, raise the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid reduces slightly, about 10 minutes.

Combine the milk and flour in a small bowl and whisk until well blended. Add the milk mixture to the tomato mixture and simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Combine the sauce with the cooked, drained spaghetti and toss to combine. Serve in individual bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
