Calamarata is a recipe of Neapolitan origins that takes its name from the pasta shape that resembles sliced calamari used to make the dish.
I had been determined for some time to make this delicious seafood dish, but that day I didn’t have fresh calamari to slice, then I remembered I had frozen squid already cut, and I made it with those.
Obviously, if you can, choose calamari; surely the recipe will give you more satisfaction !!!
When you drain the pasta quite al dente and complete the cooking with the calamari-based sauce, it will create a unique body, and you will only have to enjoy all its flavors.
Try it to believe it!!!

Preparation of Calamarata
Start by washing and cleaning the calamari, removing the insides and skin, then cutting them into slices about 3/4 inch thick.
In a pan, put the extra virgin olive oil, whole or chopped garlic cloves, slightly sauté, then add the previously washed and halved tomatoes, add the chopped parsley (keeping a handful aside), let cook covered for 2-3 minutes.
Add the chopped canned peeled tomatoes and add the sliced calamari, adjust with salt, cover with the lid, and let cook for 10 minutes over medium heat; the sauce should not be too thick at the end of cooking, if necessary, add a drop of water.
Meanwhile, bring salted water to a boil for the pasta, and when boiling, cook the pasta until very al dente, then drain and add it to the calamari sauce and complete the cooking, stirring often, adding water if it becomes too dry.
When cooking is complete, add the reserved parsley and serve.Follow me on Facebook Pinterest Twitter Instagram Youtube Telegram
