Calamarata

A striking ring-shaped pasta from Southern Italy, Calamarata resembles thick calamari rings and is crafted for hearty, seafood-forward dishes. Made solely with Italian durum-wheat semolina and water, it's bronze-die extruded and slowly dried at low temperatures (36-55 °C) over 23 hours-yielding a firm, porous texture that holds sauces beautifully.

Specs & Cooking:

• Size: Ø 30 mm × length 16 mm

• Cooking Time: 12-14 minutes to perfect al dente

• Ingredients: 100% stone-ground Italian durum-wheat semolina + water

Why It Stands Out:

• Seafood synergy: The ring shape beautifully mimics calamari and pairs naturally with seafood sauces

• Artisan quality: Bronze-die extrusion creates a rough surface that clings to sauces, ensuring each bite is full of flavor
  

• Pure and simple: No eggs, no additives-just wheat and water, highlighting true pasta craftsmanship
  

Ideal Pairings:

• Classic "La Calamarata" with squid, tomato, garlic, olive oil, and parsley
  

• Rich seafood ragùs featuring shellfish, cuttlefish, or mussels.

• Vegetable-forward sauces with cherry tomatoes, garlic, capers, and olives.
