Step 1
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 4 garlic cloves, minced, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add the 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 1 sprig rosemary, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Step 3
Add the 1 lb squid rings to the sauce. Stir to coat, then cover and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, until the squid is tender and opaque.
Step 4
Remove the rosemary sprig. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Step 5
Serve the squid and sauce over the 2 cups cooked rice, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
