  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced basil leaves

Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.

2

Meanwhile, heat reserved oil from anchovies (about 2 tablespoons) in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add calamari and toss just until opaque, about 1 minute. Add garlic, crushed red pepper and crushed anchovies with capers and stir 1 minute.

3

Add tomatoes, if using

4

Add white wine; boil until sauce is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Mix in basil.
