Squid ink pasta (black pasta) is brilliant with simple, seafood-forward sauces that let its subtle briny flavour shine. Here are some delicious, tried-and-true ideas:
🦐 1. Squid Ink Pasta with Garlic Prawns
Sauté prawns in olive oil with garlic, chilli flakes and a splash of white wine. Finish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Simple, classic, and perfect with black pasta.
🦑 2. Classic Squid Ink Pasta with Calamari
Cook sliced squid with garlic, cherry tomatoes and white wine. Toss through the pasta with a little butter or olive oil and fresh parsley.
🍅 3. Squid Ink Pasta with Tomato & Chilli
A light tomato sauce with garlic, olive oil and chilli works beautifully. Add anchovies or capers for depth if you like.
🧈 4. Squid Ink Pasta with Butter, Lemon & Parmesan
Ultra-simple and elegant: butter, lemon zest, black pepper and a little Parmesan (or pecorino). Great as a vegetarian option.
🦀 5. Squid Ink Pasta with Crab
Fresh crab meat, garlic, olive oil, a touch of chilli and lemon. Finish with parsley and a little pasta water for a silky sauce.
🐟 6. Squid Ink Pasta with Smoked Salmon & Cream
Light cream sauce with shallots, smoked salmon and dill or chives. Rich but still balanced by the salty pasta.
