Clean the squid and roughly chop the tentacles.

Fill ⅔ of each squid with the Grana Padano and spinach filling and use a skewer to close them.

Add the tomato purée, a few leaves of parsley, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 30 minutes over gentle heat, adding a ladleful or more of hot water, if necessary. Serve the squid sliced with the tomato sauce and fresh parsley leaves.
