Recipe - Neapolitan Calamarata – Squid and Fresh Tomato Pasta Sauce
Calamarata is a typical Neapolitan first course, its name comes from pasta in the shape of large rings similar to squid rings and served with a sauce of squid (Calamari in Italian) and fresh tomatoes.
Ok, but Calamarata refers to the pasta shape or to the seasoning?
Both. In addition to being a pasta shape, it is also a condiment whose protagonist, needless to say, is the squid. cut into large rings, it is practically similar as pasta.
There are many variations of Calamarata, some add seafood, swordfish, as well as the vegetarian version or a mix with potatoes, mussels and clams. In Sicily they prepare it with the addition of aubergine as well as calamari and swordfish.
Although the ingredients and the procedure are very simple, this dish is rich in taste and scent all Mediterranean and as we are talking about Naples, Pasta and Squids, here is the recipe for the classic Neapolitan Calamarata!
