Calamari alla Diavola
Spicy Calamari

1-2 whole fresh calmari, cleaned and left whole
extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
a tiny pepperoncini (cayenne pepper) or a pinch
1 sprig of rosemary

white wine

Clean the calamari by removing the transparent backbone from the calamari and remove anything found on the inside of the body, rinse with cold water.

In a sauce pan sautee the oil, garlic, cayenne for about 5 minutes. Add the calamari and cook for nearly 10 minutes. Add a glass or so of white wine and cook for another 5 minutes on high heat and serve.

Fava All'ovo
Fava Bean and Egg Dish

2 onions chopped finely
1-2 cups diced pancetta
3-5 cups fava beans
1 bunch scallions
3 artichokes
2 cups peas
3-4 chopped garlic cloves
1 small bunch basil
1-3 cups of dry white wine
1 raw onion cut into wedges
whole eggs (one for each person)

Saute onions and pancetta in a pan in olive oil. Add fava beans, artichokes, garlic, scallions, basil, and peas. Let it cook for a few minutes and add white wine. Add fresh wedges of raw onion to the pan. After fava beans show they are fairly cooked, drop in whole eggs (one at a time) on top of all ingredients. Cover with the lid briefly, as eggs poach quickly. The amount of eggs used depends on how many guests are being served. Serve immediately.
