ciao bella calamari ripieni (stuffed calamari)
(1 RATING)
My Mom is a wonderful cook and this is one of hers. Of course we had to translate her measurements from a handful of this and pinch of that. LOL If you haven't tried calamari this is a great way to have it besides fried. Really brings out the true flavor of the calamari. Enjoy!
