Step 1
Boil calamarata in salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming. Add shrimp and squid, searing 2 minutes per side until just opaque.
Step 3
Push seafood to the side. Add garlic to the empty space, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add white wine.
Step 4
Pour in 0.75 cup pasta water and add cherry tomatoes. Simmer 3 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften and sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Add cooked pasta and remaining 2 tbsp butter to the skillet. Toss gently for 1 minute until creamy and coated, adding more pasta water if needed.
Step 6
Divide between bowls and serve immediately with black pepper and a pinch of salt.
