Frequently Asked Questions
Does Garofalo Calamarata contain allergens?
Yes. It is made from durum wheat semolina, so it contains wheat and gluten and is not gluten-free. The package also states it may contain soy and mustard. Anyone with a food allergy should read the printed ingredient panel on the box before cooking, since notices can change between production runs.
How long does Calamarata take to cook?
The package lists a cooking time of 15 minutes in boiling salted water. Taste a piece a minute or two before the time is up to check for the firm, al dente bite you like. Reserve a little pasta water before draining to help the sauce coat the wide rings.
What is the difference between Calamarata and regular rigatoni or penne?
Calamarata is a wide, smooth-edged ring from the paccheri family, named for its resemblance to sliced squid rings. It is larger than most tube pastas and made to hold chunky seafood or tomato sauces inside and around the ring, while its bronze-drawn surface helps the sauce cling.
What size is the box and where does it ship from?
Each box is 16 oz (454 g), about 8 servings. You can order a Single box, a Pack of 3, or a Pack of 6 to stock up. Garofalo is imported from Gragnano, Italy. Orders ship fast from our New Jersey warehouse to customers across the United States and Canada.
