My pantry always has a good amount of pasta in stock. Pasta can be made so easily, and often with very few ingredients. The name of this pasta “calamarata” comes from its shape. They seem to be somewhat the same rings as calamari, squid rings! If you don't have this type of pasta at home, you can really use any other type, it will not taste any less. We finish this calamarata pesto pasta with burrata, one of my favorite Italian cheeses!
Calamarata pesto pasta
You can easily make the pesto yourself with your mortar or small food processor. You can find the recipe for this with this link. Not so fond of peas? You can also add some bell pepper or another vegetable, it doesn't matter much here either. We give the dish a little spice with some chili flakes.
If you’re looking for a great way to really bring your pasta dish to life, consider adding a generous handful of Parmesan or Pecorino cheese. This will create a creamy, flavorful topping that will make every bite a party. Whether you’re going for a simple spaghetti or a fancy tagliatelle, this cheese will really take your dish to the next level. Don’t forget to experiment with other toppings too, like fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil. This will turn your pasta dish into a real flavor explosion that will wow your guests!
These exceptional cheeses are a sublime addition to the intrinsic flavor of the pasta and provide a superior, extra savory and extremely creamy flavor dimension. Without a doubt this will involve gastronomic enjoyment. Taste the enrichment of your dish with this cheese refinement!
