Named for its resemblance to rings of calamari, the Calamarata from Egisto Grilli is a wonderfully characterful pasta from the Neapolitan tradition. These large, thick rings are bronze-drawn for a rough, porous texture that clings to sauce with every bite, and slow-dried at low temperatures to develop a deep, authentic flavour.

Calamarata is the natural choice for a seafood feast — pair it with squid, prawns, and a punchy tomato sauce for a truly memorable dish. It also shines with a hearty slow-cooked meat ragù or a rich aubergine and ricotta bake.
