Qui trovi anche una foto della confezione, così vedi effettivamente com'è fatta questa pasta (a forma di calamari).

Ci sono tantissime ricette in Internet su come cucinare la calamarata, ad esempio:

Io manterrei il nome in italiano (perché è il nome specifico di questo tipo di pasta, come spaghetti, penne, fusilli) poi eventualmente fra parentesi potresti mettere \"squid-shaped pasta\".
HTH!

Squid dish
More than a dish I would call it a meal from squid (Calamari)between 2 or more people

You can have it with pasta or not. You can have a meal out of squid.
Apart from having it in pasta you can have a squid filled with several ingredients and in stew. I would not agree absolutely with your opinion on calamarata. I would agree if you said pasta al calamari but surely not that.

It is exactly like saying spaghettata

writeaway
: it's a pasta dish with squid and pasta dishes are rarely meals in Italy-they tend to be the first dish, followed by a main dish.

several types
It seems that the term "calamarata" describes different types of dishes, some containing calamari (squid) and some not. Either way, it seems to always include a wide ring-shaped pasta (shaped like calamari rings).
See these links:
Abruzzo serves a witty dish called calamarata, little calamari, pasta rings tossed with a spicy red sauce, pancetta and, surprisingly, mint (half-order $9.95). The pasta and squid echo and play against one another in a combination that’s lively and fresh, earthy and salty.

Calamarata ($13.95) are "little rings", hand-twisted pasta tossed with salmon, asparagus, brown butter and lemon cream.

More links here. Calamarata seems to describe the pasta... and the pasta is used to make whatever dish a chef decides to invent. I suppose it is similar to \"lasagna\", which describes the noodle/pasta but there can also be different variations. If you are translating an item on a menu, you may need to get a description of the dish from the client.
