2 cup flour
1 cup cherry peppers

2. Add the flour to the bowl and mix well until all the calamari is fully coated.
3. Heat oil to 350 degrees and gently add the calamari to the oil in batches. (DO NOT ADD ALL AT ONCE OR THE OIL WIL BOIL OVER)
4. Once the calamari has reached a golden color remove from oil, season with salt and set aside.
5. In a sauté pan, heat olive oil, add the garlic and sauté until the garlic is golden brown.
6. Add the marinara to the sauté pan and bring it to a simmer.

8. Once the sauce is at a simmer add the fried calamari and toss until it is fully coated with the sauce.
