This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sausage. I always have a few links of sausage in my freezer, so this is a great way to use them up.

Serve the calamari with your favorite dipping sauce. I like to use a lemon-butter sauce or a garlic aioli.

Be sure to cook the calamari over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent it from becoming tough.
