Gentile Calamaretti – The Perfect Pasta for Seafood Lovers

Gentile Calamaretti is a distinctive Southern Italian pasta created for lovers of authentic seafood dishes. Its name comes from calamari (squid), as its short ring-shaped format resembles slices of squid, making it the traditional choice for many classic seafood recipes.

Produced by Pastificio Gentile in Campania using premium durum wheat semolina, the pasta is bronze-drawn and slow dried according to traditional methods. This gives it a beautifully rough surface that holds sauces exceptionally well while maintaining an excellent al dente texture.

The selected semolina wheat used in this pasta is strictly of Italian origin and of the best quality, including the Senatore Cappelli variety which is renowned for cooking to al-dente. It also gives the pasta a golden color. Bronze cut pasta molds create a rough and porous texture much like homemade pasta. The low temperature drying method known as cirillo preserves the distinct texture and aroma.

Details

Calamaretti is deeply rooted in the coastal cuisines of Campania, Calabria and Sicily. Its most famous preparation is the iconic La Calamarata, a traditional Neapolitan dish featuring squid, tomatoes, garlic, white wine and fresh parsley. The recipe is often enriched with mussels, prawns or other seafood before being finished in the oven, allowing the pasta and sauce to develop even richer flavours.

Beyond squid recipes, Gentile Calamaretti is equally delicious with prawns, mussels, octopus or simple Mediterranean sauces made with tomatoes, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. Its elegant shape and satisfying bite make it an excellent choice whenever you want to recreate the flavours of the Italian coast at home.

Buono.hu Recommends:

For an authentic Southern Italian seafood pasta, pair Gentile Calamaretti with fresh squid, mussels or prawns, premium extra virgin olive oil and San Marzano tomatoes. Serve with a chilled Italian white wine for a true taste of the Mediterranean.

Tips for pasta cooking

100 grams of pasta = 1 liter of salty water

Premium quality pasta doesn't need oil in the water, it is enough to stir the boiling pasta a couple of times in the first 2 minutes.

  • heat up the water in a tall pot, especially if you cook long pasta, then add salt
  • put the pasta in the boiling water, lower the heat when it starts to boil again
  • cook until the recommended time, then taste it to see if it is the texture what you wish for
  • drain it, do not rinse, just mix with any sauce and serve
  • for pasta salads cool it down under cold water
