Calamaretti
"Little squids" are small, ring-shaped pasta, about an inch in diameter. They hold chunky and thin sauces equally well, whether tomato-based or built on eggs or cheese. Fittingly, they're often served with seafood. Let calamaretti take the place of spaghetti in
this shrimp recipe or the shells in
this seafood pasta dish.
