Made in Gragnano, Italy · Bronze-Cut · Slow-Dried

Calamarata is a traditional short pasta shape from Southern Italy, particularly associated with Naples. Its wide rings resemble slices of calamari, which is where the pasta gets its name.

This unusual shape is not only visually distinctive: its thick walls and large surface area make it especially effective at capturing seafood sauces, cherry tomatoes, shellfish and rich Mediterranean condiments.

Durum wheat semolina, water. Contains wheat.

Perfect with calamari, shrimp, mussels, clams, cherry tomatoes and Mediterranean seafood sauces.

Cook for approximately 10–11 minutes, or until al dente. For the best result, finish the Calamarata directly in the sauce with a little pasta cooking water.

Try it with calamari, cherry tomatoes, garlic, parsley and extra virgin olive oil for a classic Southern Italian-style dish.

"Never had this style of pasta before. It has a unique way of holding the sauce. It took a little longer to cook than I am used to but was well worth the wait."
