Black Shells with Calamari

Black pasta shells are tossed with tender calamari rings and tentacles in a rich, savory sauce, often infused with garlic and white wine.

Pasta is a food made from unleavened dough, typically composed of wheat flour, water, or eggs, and shaped into various forms. It is commonly cooked by boiling or baking and is a fundamental element of Italian cuisine. While traditionally made with durum wheat, modern variations accommodate gluten-free diets using flours from rice or legumes.
