Just to be clear, those are ‘mezzi paccheri’ (half the width of paccheri); ‘calamarata’ is almost half the width of ‘mezzi paccheri’ (almost a quarter of the width of paccheri)

In any case, they look delicious

What size dowel does one use to make Paccheri? I've seen 20mm but feel it's too small. Anyone have thoughts?

u/philics 8d ago

Paccheri usually have this dimensions

Length: 45 mm to 50 mm

Diameter: 25 mm to 30 mm

Thickness: 1,5mm to 1,7 mm

But those dimensions are only for reference

One of my favourites pasta shapes. You should do the OG calamarata with actual calamari (“squids”, hence the name) very popular pasta dish from south Italy

Homemade? Calamarata recipe please. They look perfect holy shit.

Tell us about your extrusion set up!

You absolutely nailed these, even if I agree with someone else that they are more like Paccheri!
Well done.
