Step-by-Step Instructions for Stuffed Squid
- Start by cleaning the squid thoroughly under cool running water. Remove any remnants and pat dry.
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped squid tentacles and garlic for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor, add bread crumbs, Pecorino Romano cheese, parsley, capers, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until combined.
- Carefully fill each squid tube with the prepared filling, leaving space at the top. Secure ends with toothpicks and prick the squid all over with a skewer.
- In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine, then add canned tomatoes, black olives, and remaining seasoning. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Gently add the stuffed squid to the simmering sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30 to 60 minutes, turning the squid occasionally.
- Remove squid from the sauce, slice into rings, and serve with freshly cooked pasta, tossing in the sauce.

Notes
Smaller squid are preferred for a tender texture. Avoid overstuffing and always prick the squid to prevent bursting during cooking.
