Proceed to purchase: calamarata 100% wheat of Sicily If you have never tried this pasta format, now is the right time to do so. This pasta, made from Sicilian 100% wheat, is traditionally used to prepare seafood dishes, but can also be combined with tomato-based sauces. It is a type of pasta, which is distinguished by its particular shape. Its name derives from its resemblance to the ring-cut squid used in the recipe for calamarata ai frutti di mare, with mussels, clams, prawns and squid, which inspired the name of the dish itself. And it is from this traditional recipe that fond memories echo in my mind, when as a child, my grandmother would prepare this tasty dish for me. I am sure that many of you are still lucky enough to be able to spend time with your grandparents and why not, perhaps, have a light lunch together with them, using the Sicilian calamarata, which you will find in our online shop in convenient 500g packs, ready to be cooked, and I recommend that you always cook it al dente!

Want to wow your guests? Prepare calamarata with seafood. A classic of Mediterranean cuisine that never goes out of fashion.

I recommend accompanying it with an excellent white wine, still and fresh, such as: Etna Bianco - N'Ettaro from Masseria Setteporte or Carlo Hauner's Iancura from the island of Salina.
