Calamarata Pasta (Squid and Tomato Sauce)
Mar 30, 2026 01:50 PM
This calamarata pasta is a traditional Italian dish made with fresh calamari, tomatoes and al dente pasta. Calamarata refers to both the name of the pasta and the squid rings in the pasta sauce!
If you love calamari, these other pasta dishes are favorites including Italian seafood linguine and classic seafood pasta.
I love Italian seafood and fish dishes and this calamarata pasta is a favorite from Southern Italy. This Neapolitan pasta dish features calamarata pasta but is also the name of the sauce made with calamari rings.
It really is helpful when the correct pasta shape is paired with the right sauce in an Italian pasta dish. The rings of pasta and rings of calamari are perfect together in this pasta calamari!
